Colwick Country Park
Today I fancied fishing the lakes at Colwick Country Park, they shut the coarse fishing lakes at the end of the week for the closed season so I thought I'd give it a go before they close. This old warrior was the only fish of the day, I almost lost her a couple of times near the net when she made some powerful runs out towards some snags but I managed to stop her and was relieved to finally get the net under her!

I usually only fish here once or twice a season, despite its reputation as 'Pikey' I find it quite a hard place to catch, the pike have been fished for a lot and are very weary. (I watched one near my bait through my Polaroid’s) I think it has a pikey reputation because about 30 years ago a 30lb+ fish was caught on fly in the trout lake and the rangers wanted it killed but it ended up in here and was never seen again.
I have stood on the bridge over the river/brook bit & seen some super 'water pigs' swimming by in the Summer a few years back.
All i have ever caught there are snags & tree's!! I was spinning, mind you..
