Harris Lake, Marsh Farm Fishery, Milford

1500 - 2300.

Hot and sunny with a stiffish southerly breeze - clear, warm evening. AT 28ºC and still 17ºC when I left.

7 Tench; best 6lb on the nose plus a variety of sizes (1X5lb+, 2X4lb+, 2X3lb+, 1X2lb+). 2 Crucians; 2lb 6oz, 1lb 13oz & 1lb 11oz. 20+ Roach up to 10oz. 3 Rudd - all around 8-10oz, 1 Perch- small.

The return of summer put me in the mood for some more crucian fishing - though in truth they didn't get much of a look-in amongst the tench. Both smaller crucians in daylight but once it started to get dark the tench moved in - despite me giving them NO free offerings! Thankfully tinca time was over by 10pm and my only bite in the last hour came from the bigger crucian. Biggest tench from here since 2020....
