A day spent fishing

The plan was to fish in the morning until the forecast showers arrived and then go to Denby pottery. The showers didn't arrive, so I carried on fishing most of the day. Rosemary fished for a while then walked a mile along the Trans-Pennine way into Staveley village.

Its always a bit hit and miss fishing an unfamiliar water but after a bit of advice from the bailiff Rosemary and I both caught two fish each. Two bream, one roach and the nicest looking a 2-3lb tench. The lake is much bigger and deeper than the usual carp ponds that we fish so it was a pleasant change to catch something different. When Rosemary walked into Stavely to get the Daily Mail she came back with the Mail and two copies of the Sun, more about that later.

There was a good downpour for several hours in the evening that put an end to any thoughts of a BBQ.
