west lakes 7th feb

Postby Mickyj » Sat Feb 07, 2009 12:17 pm

Well I arrived at the lake and started fishing at about 7.15 am.it was already warm at 26 c .And I had planned on using my foam popper fly .
That's what I did .First section of the lake I waded out to there was no interest in my fly.And after four casts I moved on a few metres. Second spot I tried and second cast pop small Bream was launching its self at the fly .And then nothing four more casts then I moved on .
This continued up this section of the lake each time I moved at least two fish would attack the fly .And on several occasions you could here the fly "POP" back onto the surface,plus at least 2 larger fish were creating bow waves under the fly.And as I approached the next rock wall I decided to exit the water and try the next beach..Where once again I had two fish jump at this fly and then nothing at 8.15 am the Bream stopped .
I decided to swap flies to my normal rubber band bait fish fly also pink in colour .Nothing along this stretch and I worked my way back in front of the rock wall nothing again.After stepping into a rather large hole I decided to swap sides of the lake .
While having a nice chat with some bait fishers assuring them I was just mucking around .they packed up and went home .
Couple more casts and I'll go home bang the drag was screaming . I must admit I
didn't play this fish very well.After so many lost fish in recent weeks I decided to get him ashore ASAP.
And the result was a very nice 26cm Bream my second largest Bream on a fly .At 38c it would be my biggest at that temp and biggest at 9.15 am.

Hopefully this won't be something you need to worry about though...
