Snitterfield reservoir

  Well summer is nearly upon us and i for one cannot wait for those long , hot sunny days.

We had an early trip to Snitterfield reservoir after stories of good catches for this time of year, as always the weather leading up to the fishing session was perfect, until the day of the trip, heavy rain !.

  The day started badly, with a heavy shower and i and John got soaked, as we did not have our waterproofs on. Also a match was on and we had to fish a different area than i would have liked, but still that's fishing , nothing  ever goes to plan, well not for me lately, I'm beginning to think I'm cursed.

  I started with a nice Roach of a pound, it looked more like a pound and a half. This was followed by a nice hybrid, of about 1.5lb but it was slow as always the heavy rain dampened it a bit. Both Johns were catching well , John Telling on waggler and John dale the pole. Eventually the day came to an end, even thou sport was not hectic i still enjoyed it, i always enjoy the reservoir so was not disappointed

   John Dale weighed 10 lb 4oz and John Telling 9lb 10 oz and me a measly 4lb 12oz
