Two weeks in a holiday cottage with a garden that went down to the River Wharfe promised much, but alas 2007 is the year of the floods and the river was well above its normal level.

I tried a new lake today: Fields End near Doddington. It's only a 25 minute bike ride from Chatteris so I went armed with one rod, a landing net and a small selection of terminal tackle. Oh, and a small fresh loaf for bait.

Helen bought me a Red Letter Day experience for wet fly fishing.
It was on a private lake near Winchester. The water was gin clear and it was a very hot June day.

A classic tench morning (08.00 to 09.15) and my last day at the lake.
Overnight rain had chilled the air and mist hung over the water. A 3lb tench was soon hooked and landed.

Another morning session: 07.30 to 10.00
Lost a fish after about 30 seconds, probably a tench. Missed some other pulls on free line. Ultimately I landed a bream of about 1lb. I returned in the evening (17.00 to 22.00), which was again warm and balmy.
