Traps are set

Back to the farm pond with a mate and one of his friends as a guest.

Said guest hauled in five small (five!) tench ,some decent rudd and what he described as a few small carp. 

Small maybe ,but they were the biggest carp ever caught in the pond ,albeit not much more than a pound  each. 

He let slip he was actually an angling coach . It showed too . Far from being disillusioned by the size of the pond and its inhabitants he professed to having  a grand time going back to his boyhood fishing roots.

My mate caught his second ever tench so was pleased too. He'd just unhooked it and was dangling his bait in the margins when it was grabbed by   a pretty mirror carp so both fish ended up posing for the camera. He also caught a crucian , a species not even  suspected to inhabit the pond. It wriggled out of his hand during the photo shoot . It would've  been nice to have checked pictures to see if it was a real crucian but it looked right.

I was unusually  successful. My bamboo rod and centrepin saw action from  three tench including this rather splendid greenie.Excuse the embarrassing  t-shirt . I  keep trying to wear the  thing out but it won't  die .
