Willows Lake - Thatcham

1800 - 2300

Cool, overcast and drizzly with a more substantial shower as it got dark. AT 14ºC - 12ºC.

2 Tench: 5lb 11oz & 4lb 4oz. 3 perch - all small.

As expected, bites at a bit of a premium with conditions more akin to mid autumn than mid July. Pretty pleased then, to come away with 2 nice tincas and have an evening when I was NOT getting bothered by cyprinus carpio. And, as last week on Alders, 8pm appeared to be the 'witching hour' with the biggest tench arriving shortly after 2000 and the 4lber (a hard fighting male) 20 minutes later.
