Chard Resi 3rd Aug 2008

Chard Reservoir – 29th March 2009

I only fish the ‘resi’ a few times a year and looking through my old diaries I couldn’t find an entry where I’d fished it as early in the year as this. On arrival the reservoir was flat calm and it was bright and sunny, not ideal conditions for bream fishing. Still somebody would have a few and I hoped it would

River Isle – V.E.S. Precision Winter League – 1st March 2009

The weather was once again gorgeous (if anything a little too bright and sunny) and at the draw there was a good turnout of 17 anglers. Everybody wanted to draw one of the hot pegs, which Robin had put in again. 125 or 55 were the pegs most people wanted, Rob had also put some pegs in at Ilford and these were
