Peterstone Lake- The Pencil Lake18th Sept 2013

Trish Lloyd & Brian Lloyd

Peterstone Lakes - Pencil lake

With a break in the weather and the afternoon forecast to be clear and sunny Trish and Brian decided they fancied a Trip up to Peterstone Lakes just outside Newport for an afternoons fishing. Deciding on the feeder rods for the day with the Fluorocarbon & Camouflaged fishing line we got from Total Outdoors they both set up and off they went. They noticed it was extremely quiet upon arrival and a few of the other fishermen told them it had been dead all day so far.

Brian's First Barble     Tris's bream

This didn’t put them off one bit and within 10 minuets of setting up and casting out Trish was into her first fish of the day, a nice bream caught on halibut flavoured meat. Brian soon followed with a nice size Barbel and then another one a few minuets after.

Brian's Second Barble     Brian's 8lb Common carp     Brian's Third Barble

The afternoon was turning out to be a great afternoons fishing as Trish continued to catch bream while Brian managed a lovely Common Carp of around 8lb with a perfect mouth and pattern showing that this carp hadn’t been caught that many times and considering this is a fishery with loads of visitors every day its quite rare to get a clean fish. He then soon followed with his third Barble of the day, only a small one but still very welcome. As the evening drew in the bites still kept coming and so did the fish but not as many as when they started then Trish soon hooked in to her best of the day a nice Common Carp of about 12 + lb.
