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.20250809_180642.jpg.7f9976837297a7a93acfc997577db88e.jpg

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.20250809_195610.jpg.83874c6a70e008a25d7c7a377743301e.jpg

I was unusually  successful. My bamboo rod and centrepin saw action from  three tench including this rather splendid greenie.20250809_173844.jpg.7a7ed16ee2b7c619f21d811cc8447649.jpgExcuse the embarrassing  t-shirt . I  keep trying to wear the  thing out but it won't  die .
