Tench, Hardwick, Linear

A tough day spent battling more with weed than fish. A succession of hook pulls and lost fish in the weed made for a frustrating morning. However a change in fortunes in the afternoon saw a Carp and a Tench in the landing net. The Tench was the first fish and after a spirited fight pulled the scales down to 6lb 15oz.

The battle with the Carp was without incident which was surprising considering the amount of weed in the swim but this pretty Mirror weighing 10lb 10oz obviously does not like the stuff.
