Back To Blakemere

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.
