Evening session from 18.00 to 21.40
A change of tactics. I bought some luncheon meat and upgraded to 6lb line with an 8 hook. The weather remained warm and still.

Market Drayton (4)
Tried a morning session today; 07.30 to 09.30.
Troubled by small fish and felt three larger ones, but didn’t hook any. A perfect tench morning came to nothing.

Another evening visit, 17.00 to 21.00, as we were on holiday and went out during the day.
Used same approach as previous day, at the same spot. I noticed fish rising to discarded crusts so tried casting flake with a float and no shot.

Second evening and I fished the second swim on the far bank having seen a local there earlier in the day.
I again fished through the reeds but there was more open water, although still shallow at about a foot deep. There were lily pads about 20ft to the right.

After walking around the lake earlier in the afternoon I went down for the evening. I fished the first fishable swim on the far bank, the lake being generally overgrown.
I fished through marginal reeds with lily pads to the left. It was very shallow and coloured. The evening was warm and still.
