\"\"<\/a>It was cold, wet and difficult when Gary and I tackled Jenny\u2019s Pool at Tunnel Barn Farm… but also good fun and a nice challenge!<\/p>\n

Gary\u2019s already a very good angler indeed, so we didn\u2019t want things too easy on the day. That was just as well, as the fish were definitely in \u2018backing off\u2019 mode! I think he did well to eke out a net of fish from a notoriously moody lake that\u2019s been hit by several days of cold rain. The water level was the highest I\u2019ve ever seen it for this pool, too, so there was even more water for the fish to hide in!<\/p>\n

No signs at all on pellets early doors, but a nice carp on dobbed bread was very welcome. After that, it was all about maggots and Gary worked hard for every single fish.<\/p>\n

I really enjoyed the day, despite the rain arriving late on, and it was dark by the time we left! Thanks as always to Tunnel Barn for having us. Hopefully it will be a little bit warmer and drier next time… please!<\/p>\n\n\t\t
