Woodside Pool - May 1st - A windy dreary day

I thought that I would give Woodside Pool a try after reading some positive reports.

I arrived at 7.30am on a very windy and blustery day, I chose the last peg at the far end of the pool were it was very sheltered.

It is a very pretty pool, but a little bit too close to the main road:

I set up a float rod, with insert waggler and fished close to an overhanging bush in about 4' of water.

Spot the floats


Clearly this was the hot spot as there were about half a dozen floats hanging in the tree. It would have been ideal for a pole, especially given the lightening bites, however the peg was cut into the bank so there was no room behind for a pole.





Fishing with maggot and caster brought a bite a chuck, very hard to hit, from roach & rudd.  Switching to corn or pellets did not bring any bites.

I had some very noisey companions for the day who also liked my loose feed.


I ended up with a load of roach, rudd and the odd skimmer and left at 14.00 to go home and warm up.
