Lots of rain and a good few fish.

Sunday was a very, very wet day with constant heavy rain continuing until dark. The lads manfully kept at their fishing and were rewarded with some nice fish topped by a cracking 37lb mirror to Gertjen. The tally so far has reached 24 carp and one pike……caught on a boilie !! Although this morning is warm, and sunny we have another 2 days of rain forecast, not ideal but I am sure the good start will be maintained. The carp are often showing signs of having spawned and exhibiting some nasty wounds and lost scales so I will be pleased when spawning has completely finished and the carp are back to their best. Its never nice to see any sort of damage on your carp when they have been pristine for so long but I suppose thats nature and I will just have to accept it.

Gertjen and his 37lb mirror. Notice a spwning wound on the shoulder and a spawning rash on its belly.

Another nice mirror for Gertjen but this time completely unmarked.
