Well it looks like we are almost at the end of the season, I know that most lakes and commercial fisheries don't actually have a fishing season and it's down to the individual owners to rest the lakes and fisheries, but as the winter draws in it gets way too cold to go out and fish. The rivers and drains, some still waters and canals and i suppose this includes all back waters, do have a season and are closed from the 15th March till the 15th June. You would think they would shut through the winter but hey even fish cant spawn in cold conditions. OK i agree we get the "all weather" fishermen that don't seem to care and go out even if there is snow or frost on the ground and they will try anything to catch that special fish of the year. Hey, when i was younger i was one of them, i wouldn't care if it was pouring down i would still go out fishing, even if it was only with one rod and a lure to go jack piking, i would still go out and guaranteed i would catch.

Well as the weather draws in i think we will only manage to get 1 or 2 more trips this year. The first is definitely a Carp trip as i am dying to see what the Hendre Lake has to offer in the way of Big Carp. (This is my local Lake) and if the weather is kind to us i have to try and get up to Cefn Mably for a day on the big lakes as the fishing up there was brilliant and i really do want to have a go at some of the bigger fish they have in the lakes.
Well the weather for the coming weekend is looking promising and we could be in for a good days fishing down at the Hendre. I am going to try and do an early morning start to see if i can catch the first feed of the day. So fingers crossed, my equipment arrives in time and we are all set for a good days fishing next weekend. Get Hooked!
(Note: We will also start up the Sea Fishing section of this site during the Winter as we try and tackle some of the peers and coasts around Wales. WATCH THIS SPACE!!!)
