Common Carp caught from Follyfoot Fishery

Pre Spawning Zig Craziness At Follyfoot Fishery

Thursday 13 July 2017

A tough but rewarding 24 hours at Follyfoot Fishery. I've never fished for such angry carp!

As they were in a pre-spawning mood and not that interested in feeding the action was slow and steady...

But I managed to bank some stunning fish on a 'special' bait including some of the amazing koi/ghosty goldfish that I always enjoy targeting when I come to the lake.

Short Chub Session On The Bristol Avon

Sunday 15 April 2018

My Easter fishing trip this year was so bad that I've really been a bit down on fishing of late... So what better way to raise my spirits than a 24 hour spring session at Follyfoot Fishery?!

As it turned out, pretty well! I had 10 or so chub, no monsters but plenty of fun. I also had a chance to try out my keepnet, the hope being it would increase the catch rate as released fish wouldn't spook the shoal. I *think* it worked ;)

Chub, bream and trout on the Bristol Avon

Monday 11 July 2016

It was one of those sessions where it all came together: a last minute freedom pass for the evening, great conditions, the perfect swim and so many fish!

I caught chub after chub, a dustbin lid bream and a trout - all in the space of a few hours ;)

Catching Chub on the River Avon at Swineford

Monday 4 July 2016

My 2nd river session this season down on the River Avon at Swineford.

I managed to catch quite a few small dace and roach along with two chub, one of which was a bit of a monster!

A fantastic evening session in beautiful surroundings - too good ;)
