Cheers Derek,

Unfortunately the guys are not the old codgers at the lake but I am not sure
of their credentials never having seen them do the deed so to speak. They
talked the talk but you never know until you have listened for a while.

The weather looks a little warmer and the water temp should be as good as my
last catching session I think so it may be good. I am taking both outfits so
I can choose and if there is light rain in the morning I will lure fish
until the promised break comes making the best of the situation.

I also would rather head for the river but transport stuffs me so I will
make do with the good old lake for now. Next summer I will fish the Thames
at Lechlade. I will get there by bus and stay in a B&B over night so I can
get out at the crack of dawn. Looking forward to that.

What is the general consensus on bream fishing tomorrow. I want a nice
quiet
day sitting and pulling some fish out so thought as it was mild and not
too
wet I would try and go back to my known method but some locals in the
tackle
shop are saying that bream fishing is dead due to the weather. In the old
days this sort of weather was good for bream if I remember right.

These are the same locals you've been outfishing these months past?
How much do you rate their opinion?

I've never been much of a bream fisher - location mostly. I always assume
that the water temperature is the most important factor as the lower it is
the slower the fish's digestion and so the less they are able to eat.

If the water is warming then, yes, it could be good. If -clear- then your
lures might be worth using. If there's a (relatively) warm wind then I'd
fish the drop off facing into the teeth of it.

Though I'd rather head for the river.

Cheerio,
