Mikey stays mobile on the shropshire fishery.
Having been invited down to Blakemere Leisure by my good friend Dave Marvell to see the planned netting of the Lake, I decided I would get myself booked on for a few nights fishing beforehand.
Keeping an eye on catch reports prior to me arriving I knew there had been a few fish coming out, but with some cold easterly winds due I also knew conditions were not going to be on my side. Arriving at the Lake there were already a few anglers on, so I decided to go for a chat to see what was happening. After speaking to one or two of the lads and consuming a couple of cups of tea, it was pretty clear what lay ahead. With the lads set up in the car park 1 swims being bivvy-bound due to the conditions, I knew that wasn’t the place I wanted to be, so I set off to car park 2, and on getting down to the Lake the conditions were considerably warmer on this bank.

Around the venues If I told you in Staffordshire there is a fishery with pools within which the average carp is currently over 30lb, you’d be interested, wouldn’t you? What if I told you it’s not a syndicate or a club venue, but is available for all to fish on a day-ticket basis? Still interested? Then check out Baden hall Fishery, where the Quarry is starting to wake up and big fish are on the move.
