Cookie69 Posted April 14, 2015 Report Share Posted April 14, 2015 I packed up coarse fishing, and took up fly fishing. Last week I was out looking for pigeon and was passing one of my favorate old tench fishing lakes (Napton res) So I called in to have a look, it bought back some good memory's of tench sessions that resulted in 80 to 100lb of tench ( no bull ) Being the impulsive person I am I have just been out to buy a rod and a few bits. With this fine weather and tomorrows forecast as the warmest day of the year so far I'm off tench fishing For the 1st time in over 20 yrs 👍 Tight lines? I'll report back tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dougy Posted April 14, 2015 Report Share Posted April 14, 2015 I had my favourite tench float, I wouldn't fish without it. It was plain simple black and white. Don't fish at all now, just move the tackle from one side of the shed to the other, I really need to let if go. Tight line's and don't forget the cloth to wipe the slime off, its like snot lol.

Magic! Have a great days angling, report back with pictures..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TIDES EDGE Posted April 17, 2015 Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 I thought that the coarse season was closed untill june 16th or does this not apply any more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penelope Posted April 17, 2015 Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 Enclosed still waters and most canals can now be fished all year. Came into effect in the later 90's IIRC.

panoma1 Posted April 17, 2015 Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 Are Tench not a fish for a warm summer day? is it not a bit early for them as the water will still be cold!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cookie69 Posted April 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 Are Tench not a fish for a warm summer day? is it not a bit early for them as the water will still be cold!? Yes My thinking was the warm settled weather we have had for a week or two might have brought them on the feed? The lake I was on is very deep ,10 to 12 ft just a rod and a half length out, so maybe takes longer to warm up compared to a shallow one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penelope Posted April 22, 2015 Report Share Posted April 22, 2015 I've had some good catches in April, but May is the month, especially towards the end. Are Tench not a fish for a warm summer day? is it not a bit early for them as the water will still be cold!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
