It's late August and the weather is perfect, so good in fact that I decide to get the bivvy out! So, after a few hours looking about and mucking around I finally settled in, although I swear half that time was spent moving kit up the huge flight of steps and down the other side to the chosen spot...
Within the hour we are off with a very nice scaly 20lb+ mirror, I love late August 😉


Reedy fen is a farm reservoir with a good stock of carp. Around 5-6 acres, the margins have extensive reed beds with a thick layer of silk-weed growing down the margin slopes. The deepest part of the lake is 28 feet with 14 feet just a few rod lengths out.
