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?
It’s great to hear of yet another brand new fishery opening in Norfolk, Layfields Lakes in Lenwade. It is a new complex and is owned by Darren Layfield. Oak Lake tickets cost £10 allowing anglers to fish for 12 hours using two rods. If you wish to fish overnight you will need a 24-hour ticket costing £20. Other lakes are work in progress.
There is another lake on the complex, but this is being run as a syndicate. If you want more details you can contact Darren Layfield on 07917 197 846.
As many of you who regularly read my fishing blog will know I am quite a fan of TV fishing programs. I recently discovered ‘The Greater Rod Race’ by Mick Hayes and Mick Brown.These two characters just have me in stitches as they fight their way through all challenges to achieve the fishing goals.
Their combination of characters and styles are really complimentary and I think they are a very successful fishing double act. The ‘Two Ronnies’ of the fishing world. Keep it up lads, you have incentivised me to return to the bank, and when I cannot be there I can enjoy the fact you are.
Swangey Lakes near Attleborough seems to be a permanent fixture in the local angling news, producing another recent Mirror Carp of over 30lb! This fishery is very close to where I live, so I must give it a try.
Another fishery often in the news is the Kingfisher Lake at Lyng. This has produced a HUGE 36lb 10oz Mirror Carp to a local angler from Felthorpe. These fish must be enormous!
