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.
