My second visit to Blagdon reservoir with James. Despite good fishing conditions (overcast and a bit rainy) the fishing was very difficult for most of the day. James who only fished till the early afternoon caught a cracking Brown trout of about 2lb (released) but apart from that we struggled as did everyone else it seemed. However, in the evening I noticed a proliferation of boats in one area down the bottom end of the reservoir. I set off toward them hoping that this was a good sign. It was. As soon as I got there and started casting I had a pull. What followed was one of the most satisfying experiences I have had fishing. After not catching anything all day I managed to get 7 in the next 2 and half hours or so. I desperately wanted to get my limit (8) and even managed to hook the 8th fish in near darkness but alas it came off. Oh well, I couldn’t complain, it was my best result from a large reservoir and had turned out to be a fantastic finish to a hard day.
