Coltsford Saturday / whats this?

[zonnkers]

Fished Coltsford Mill on Saturday and stuggled with the Trout (hooked 3 / landed 1).

Had a play around with some small fish that were rising in the Lower Cascade pool and managed to catch this on a *16 black beetle but what is Roach or Rudd?

That be a Rudd Zonkers.

Quite a few in the lake's as well and some carp in the main lake.Quite probably other coarse species as well.
Was it busy?.Guess it was a bit tough?.I did Albury,purely a last minute thing (won a toss up with Coltsford )and it wasn't at all easy.Only had one come off at the net and missed a couple on dries and a couple of snatches on tweeked hoppers.Some very big fish cruising around in the lower lake at Weston.

Oh B*gger I was after a Roach for the species comp

Looks as if I will have to stick to my club lakes for a little while!!
What with fuel and day ticket prices rising all the time it,s getting expensive to try other waters.

mmmmmm
Coltsford raised its prices a little while ago.Many fishing?

there were about 10 anglers out, only 2 had their limit, I fished with my mate who is a member and he only had 1 as well, there were a few Mayflies coming of but not enough to get the fish interested.

Zonkers,would be good to have that day there if still interested.However with the present weather its probably not conducive to good fishing.Perhaps a wait until later in the year when its cooled of somewhat?.
I have been told that like a number of fisheries,Coltsford can become a really hard venue in the summer.

[zonnkers]

yes would look forward to that , a mate (littlefish) has just joined the forum and he would come as well.

Sounds like a plan to me Dick
