My weekly evening session and a chance to see if the fish will be where I found them in last weeks sun. Today though, despite fair forecast, there was a steady cool wind from the south, putting a chop on the water and having me grabbing my coat to go over my thick jumper as early as 5pm. It was a much slower start, though I did pick up a hard fighting Common of 8lb 7 and one of the newly stocked Mirrors of 2lb 2. Then it all went quiet. I switched to a float with sweetcorn around the emerging lilies for a nice roach, a skimmer and, around 9pm when the wind mercifully stilled, twin tench, both 3lb 8 on the nose, the first with one more eye than the other. 

I returned to method feeder when I could no longer see the float and finished with a 10lb 2 Common. 

Over 27lb of fish and drove home thinking I should have caught more. How times change.

Oh, and I need to find out how the flash works on my camera
