Jones is warming up!

Good evening fellow bloggernoids.

The levels are rising. The mere threat of snake hips Jones doing a rain dance has brought some much needed precipitation for the last couple of days, the result is that the lake has risen by about 2 feet and it will probably do another 6 inches tonight although the rain has stopped this afternoon leaving clear skies behind.

On Friday morning just before the rain started, Mr Jones opened his account with a nice looking 25-12 mirror and on Saturday night he pulled out something a lot more substantial in the shape of this much welcomed 43-8 mirror.

Its been quiet since then with no fish coming out on Sunday or today so we'll have to wait and see if the couple of days rain we've had makes a difference.

The south arm is even less populated than a few days ago now, with only us and two other carpers in the whole of the arm which makes it difficult to judge whats happening as far as captures go, although I do know the two Germans that are fishing 500yds down the bank from us haven't caught for a while so all in all things still seem fairly slow. Personally, I think we need the levels to come up another few feet in a short space of time to get the carp a little more excited and get them on the feed but unfortunately, the weather report is fairly settled for the next few days and the local radio station has been spot on with the predictions so far.

See you soon
