It is indeed a grand looking bench in a lovely setting. I too have pond envy just now... However, if I had a pond my wee garden office in which I sit typing would have to be on a raft, although now i choose to think about that i have both pond envy and a desire for an office on a raft.

TIGHTCHOKE Posted June 17, 2020 Report Share Posted June 17, 2020 Oh dear I fear he may have regressed and after all the good work we had done! Nice to see the better side at last! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDog Posted June 17, 2020 Report Share Posted June 17, 2020 I am no expert in matters piscatorial but I understand that having carp and tench in the same pond is not a good mix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a scare a while back that there was a catfish in there but had no sightings or evidence since. Up until the restrictions myself and Mrs 7days swam regularly in large quarry, it is about 60 foot deep and has a huge 6 foot sturgeon that lives in deep murky depths. He is called Brian by all accounts, I have never seen him, too busy thrashing around trying not to drown. Do you cast a fly upon the pond Walshie? atb 7diaw P.S. Hope the knee is better.

Most ponds and lakes that have one usually have the other as well. 1 hour ago, 7daysinaweek said: Up until the restrictions myself and Mrs 7days swam regularly in large quarry, it is about 60 foot deep and has a huge 6 foot sturgeon that lives in deep murky depths.

Swimming in a big deep lake where a fish might touch my leg is the stuff of nightmares for me, Not really enough room to cast a fly with bushes and trees behind, but I have given it a go, managing to get the fly at least 3ft from the bank on my best attempt before giving up. If I want a rainbow for dinner, I normally chuck in a spinner, but I've caught trout in there on bread worms, and even sweetcorn. This pic from a couple of years ago. Knee seems a lot better thanks for asking. Don't know whether to still go to the Doc's to say my knee used to hurt but doesn't now.

Yes it can take a bit of practice when trying to get a fly going, that Rainbow is in lovely condition. May still be worth following up with your gp, ask for a telephone triage and they may suggest a 'Watchful wait' and at the very least you can discuss your symptoms. atb 7diaw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
