I finally get on the bank

well, some monthes after joining the forum, I finally get onto the bank for a couple of hours. I took just the float rod, the new 'pin I treated myself to a while back, an Okuma, very nice and popped down to the lake at Crockerton, Banana Seve posted a report from here a few days ago.

A few grains of corn and one on the hook under a small waggler and I was off almost as soon as the bait hit the water. Its was a steady stream of roach, rudd and skimmers with a couple of beautiful stripies. I fished for about 2hrs, and had at least 10lb. Biggest fish were roach to about 1/2 lb, great fun, lovely wooded lake, blues skies with a few wispy cloiuds, orange float dipping under the water, bird song, I shared the swim, (no 8), with a kingfisher, we both caught. The real reason we go fishing I think.

I might sneak down to the Mells stream tonight.
