Norfolk Fishing Life a coarse angling blog

Returned to Walnut Farm Fisheries on Monday night, the first time for a few weeks and had my best evening yet!Finally think I have cracked a few things and landed over half a dozen Carp over the 5lb mark who put up the most barmy of fights. They included a most amazing coloured Koi Carp, Mirrors and Commons.

I also picked up a few smaller Crucians, it was a hoot, just a shame it was a little on the fresh side with a chilly wind.

I know I need to try another venue, but it is close and easy and at the moment that is what appeals! Any suggestions for where I should try next?

I returned to Walnut Farm Fisheries last night for another short evening session, and despite it being a little cooler, the extra hours of daylight provided a slightly longer session. I wanted to see if I could increase my hook rate, as at my last visit I seemed to lose more than I landed.

What a hoot! It has been over three years since I last went fishing, and my return to the bankside was much over-due.

You will be able to see by the picture of the beautiful Mirror Carp, that it was also not a blank! I really did have a great time, even though there were plenty of beginner mistakes.

So my wife informs me…so that can only mean one thing - yes I did catch some fish!! All Carp, and a right old selection from what I could tell. I could have both laughed and cried at my totally amateur antics at times, but hey, I never claimed to be a pro and this was my first time at the venue. Most importantly of all, I had a ball! Walnut Farm Fisheries provided me with a great few hours of fishing.

Well a proper review will be forthcoming, but I need to shower now, so it will probably be tomorrow evening.

Right, the day has finally arrived! The car is packed, the gear loaded, licences bought, bait re-stocked - Walnut Farm Fisheries here I come. The weather is not quite what I had imagined, it is very windy and I would have preferred a calm, still evening. But hey, I will be fishing and that is all that matters.

I shall give you an update on my return!
