Bayleaf the Gardener

199 views

Well, my plan to fish Alders and get to know its contours and mysteries over the weeks ahead before the season resumes properly lasted about an hour. The frost I arrived in was driven off by a strengthening northerly wind and my uncomfortable biteless session came to an end when the bailiff arrived and told me of his p.b. mirror (26lb) and bream (11lb) in an hours session at adjacent Willows last week.

At Willows I started on float while the temperature struggled to get up to potential carping levels for a few roach and a skimmer.

Eventually, the moment came and I made the switch to method feeder and aimed toward the island. I caught three mirrors: 8lb 6, 3lb 8 and 6lb. Great fun as thoughts of cracking Alders were put aside for another day.
