Ivy House Lakes - Heron Lake

Peg 13
60lb 10oz
2nd overall
15 fished

Heron is the new lake at Ivy House Lakes, Andy and Karen (owners of Ivy House Lakes) have decided to open this new lake earlier.

The buzz pegs on the morning before the draw was very early and late pegs, this is where the fish were stocked and fed daily.  So I drew Des Shipp peg 1, and myself peg 13... unlucky for some?!

The depths are Heron Lake are 4.5 foot deep and i opted for out and out pole and pellet attack, with a few maggots.

Great start at 7 meters, 7 tiny fish (mirrors about 2oz) in 7 puts and then nothing?!  Started a line at 10.5 meters and started catching.  Unfortunately the peg faded last hour, and I watched my match slip away to Liam's hands, fair play he had 65lb to my 60lb, which is quite a few fish, so may sound close, but that was 20 ish fish short.

Looking forward to Sundays open already.  Learnt a few things, so hopefully draw well again?!


Big postive rig

Spottedfin expanders are as good as they get

4 inch hooklength.  No messing around.  When the fish wise up, you won't get away with this
All today's weights on Heron pool.
If your hook boxes get wet, like mine did today, then put some rice on them.
