It's been a while.
Hello folks old and new.

Hello Neil and welcome back . . . . . .

 

[mikench]

Welcome indeed. An old hand at this forum lark and no doubt missed. What has prompted you to return?

 

[Keith M]

Hi, welcome back

Keith

Thanks Peter, Keith.

Mikench, have done a little angling recently and enjoyed it so thought I'd come back and see if anyone I knew was still here. Fortunately Peter was and he helped me reactivate this account.

Or a shorter answer

Thanks would have liked to have put her on the scales but didn't have any with me.

It was a nice evening though.

Only had one pint from the source, lovely drink, lovely place. Is that where you're from?

Welcome back Neil.

Cheers Peter.

No it's my new local water, Thurnscoe reservoir.

It looks very attractive wherever it is.

Yeah it's a pretty nice bit of water. Fishing well atm according to the locals I've talked to. I've had a few evening sessions, never any longer than 4 hours. I've just used sweetcorn as bait and have had no trouble catching a handfull of tench, along with a few bream and roach.
It has carp, apparently up to about 29lbs, also grass carp, something I've never caught.
I've just bought a house in the village and the res was part of the appeal. Walk 100 or so yards and I'm on the bankside. Even better it's only £20 for the year.
