Carsington res 16th april

Frosty start to the day with ice in bottom of the boats.
went over to the far bank to begin with.
we struggled all around milfields/upperfields bank.Caught
3 myself with john smith catching 5 then decided to go
over too tower bank.With buzzers on i caught a
overwintered rainbow over 4lbs staight away then the
takes never stopped for the rest of the day.John smith my
boat partner hooked into a cracking 5lb rainbow which
fought really hard and took a good five minutes to get
into the net.(shown above)

here is some of the fish we caught above.
The best fly for us on the day was without doubt a olive
buzzer taking well over 20 fish for us.we spooned one early
on and it was full of small olive buzzers.

a nice rainbow of about 4lbs.
we carried on until the wind made it really hard with my
battery wearing down on my electric motor.john ended up
with 21 rainbows and myself catching 17 including 4
overwintered between us.
If venturing to carsington keep moving around till you
locate the fish .great day nice venue will be back soon.
