Gary's day
For once the weather forecast was spot on - very windy and rain at 1pm . It was supposed to be 7C but felt a lot colder in the wind. Peg 11 was my home for the day - completely the wrong end of the lake as the cold wind was blowing into this end and it is very deep - 12ft on a top 4. With the depth and strong wind it was going to be a day on the tip. Finally at 11 the tip went round and a chunky F1 was in the net. I thought the fish were finally on the feed, unfortunately that was it though for me and I could not buy another bite. At the other end of the lake things were going a little bit better with John on Peg 2 working his way clear of the pack although Mark on Peg 6 had a couple of late fish. With the wind and rain non-stop since 1pm those of us left agreed to pack up 30 mins early - an early finish is pretty much unheard of so that gives you an idea how cold we were all getting.
