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!

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.

Well, what a day! My very good friends had their first baby today and my wife and I are really happy and pleased for them.What is also good, is that I will never forget their babies birthday as it falls on June 16th, the official start of the coarse fishing season, at least for rivers.

I can remember sitting at Ringland Lakes at the stroke of midnight and casting the first bait of the new season, magical moments and memories that will always stay with me.

While the close season is not followed on most lakes, I often think that it’s a shame, as the sense of anticipation of the 16th is now lost.

But, the memories of the 16th still linger, and for many who only fish rivers, I am sure it must still be a really special day. Just as it will be for our friends!
