First Barbel & F1

A vintage ad for Lucky Lures, also used by Pacific Alaska Airways.

On 3 November I blanked at Springwood, but I had a nice few hours at Mill Dam on 6 November and caught Perch, one of which was nearly a pound, the biggest I’ve landed there. It rained, but it was very mild.

At Beechwood on 10 November I did pretty well in very mild conditions and caught several Perch, a few Roach and two Carp of about 4lb each.

A friend of a friend took me to fish the Bridge Inn Pond on 19 November, and although it lashed it down for most of the day, I caught my first three Barbel and F1, all on reds.

I thought I’d try Allestree Park Lake on 26 November and use a swim feeder, but I didn’t catch anything and didn’t see any activity on the flat, calm lake with mild temperatures. Although I did see some small fish topping as I left, typical! I enjoyed it though, and found a nice flat peg.
