Water reports
Primrose pool
January 29th 2007
This
is my first visit to a BMAC water & was really pleased with the
set
up of the pool. Good
sized solid stages, dipping tanks for your
nets, not a scrap of litter in sight and an overall appearance of place
that looks as if it's been properly maintained.
After plumbing
up I decided on feeding two pole lines at 9m, one in open water, which
I constantly fed 3 - 4 maggots & castors every other put in. My
other line was close to a patch of lillies, this was initally fed with
about 20 grains of hemp & 3 - 4 grains of corn, then fed every
15
mins with 6 - 8 grains of hemp & a grain of corn.
I started
fishing about 10am & for 1/2 hour was getting very small roach
every put in, the bites suddenly became less frequent but the stamp of
fish had increased, & I was getting small carp,
cruicians,goldfish
& skimmers on both maggot & castor. After 3 hours on
this line
I moved onto the other line with a grain of corn. Two put ins resulted
in 2 small carp then nothing on corn, so I tried on seed which gave me
a 2 - 4 oz roach every put in. I swapped from line to line until the
end of my session at 2:30pm ending up with a mixed bag over 12lb. I was
more than pleased with this in the middle of winter on an unfamiliar
venue.
