The Cut

I joined Kingfishers (KAPS) late last year, mainly to fish the rivers, and to fish with friends who are already members.   But they do also have a number of stillwaters.   One of these is comprised of three lakes that are only about 20 mins from where I live (Why did I buy a house so far away from decent fishing, 20 years before retirement - No longer working, I'd love to be able to just pick up my rods and stroll down to the local river, rather than having to plan a journey).   There's
