True to form, the weather was predicted to be grim with a cold start and drizzly rain all day... Far out spring, what happened?!
Amazingly there were two other anglers on the lake so by usual standards, it was rammed! I decided to hedge my bets and set up at the far bowl end and fish the died back lily pads with a feeder rod. My first bite came pretty quickly and turned out to be one of the biggest fish I've caught from the lake - result!
Over the next couple of hours I had another three fish but as the rain settled in the bites completely dried up.
In the end I packed down around 2pm as it was freezing cold, chucking it down with rain and with nothing to show for a swim move I was just plain fed up!
Looking at the weather forecast shows that there's no change on the far side of the Easter break...
