Langsdale Lakes ( Willow lake ) at Langworth

So it's nearing the end of September and I decided to have a few hours back on Willow lake, one of the lakes at Langdale lakes near Langworth. My friend and work colleague Megan popped to visit me.....apparently she has fished before.....I fished close in against some lily pads using a waggler, 6Ib line fished straight through to a size 16 hook. Bait : Sweetcorn and maggot.

I caught a number of very small carp; the pics below show the three biggest fish of the day....even though they are still small !!

The first fish of the day....Megan holding still a 3.5Ib Mirror Carp

This was my first fishing trip of the year. It was also my first fishing trip for about 16 years, due to work commitments.....I just woke up one morning, found all of my fishing tackle in my double garage and thought....hey, why not head fishing again.....and now I have the fishing bug once again.

So I popped to Langdale lakes at Langworth and fished on Willow lake. Fishing on the pole with 12 elastic, 5Ib line through to a 4Ib hook length and a size 16 hook, I fished a combination of bread and cheese. I took 5 small carp up to 6Ib.

Not a bad introduction to the fishing world after a 16 year break......definitely caught the fishing bug once again!!
