High pressure puts the brake on sport
Despite the warm weather during the week, the prevailing high pressure seemed to have put fish off the feed for most of the week. Although another 30lb was caught by an angler fishing at Gingerbread Lake in the early part of the week, thereafter, there were few signs of fish movement. Dave Holland has struggled to find the lake’s big tench this season but, instead, has continued to pick up the odd big bream. He float-fished from a swim on the north bank of the factory bay to catch his latest bream, a fish of around 8-9lbs to add to his tally.
