We had been hoping to float / surface fish all day in glorious sunshine but were instead faced with some of the first serious rain for months and had to ledger instead in order to stay under our umbrellas. We had a 10 pound ish carp each on Ellips Pellets from the far end of the pool before packing away at 5 ish. Then, however, the clouds parted and the baking sun came streaming through so I had to stay a bit longer and get the Bakers Meaty Meals dog biscuits out. The carp were going mad for them and it wasn't long before I'd landed a 8 ish pounder and an unexpected 1 pound ish roach and could leave contented. A lovely spot for a day's fishing with easy access and comfortable banks so we'll definitely be back, hopefully in full sunshine next time.

I tried to get to the lucky stone but was beaten by another angler. Although he was kind enough to suggest we fished either side of him, it wasn't safe enough to do so in the rain. We walked the fields having concorde cardiac hill, which isn't to bad if I'm honest. There's not many options in the way of swims but we settled on a stone bank within the second field.
We didn't catch anything today but did see fish topping.
Having talked with some local fisherman, if you can't get to the " kissing stone " you may struggle as we had.
