Pitsford Reservoir This is the first time I can remember when a weather forecast stayimg exactly as predicted for a week. They forecast 25mph gusting 40+mph with rain showers and that is what we got! So we fished from the shore at the Sailing Club Bank. At first at the southern end of the bank the wind was stronger than above but a slight direction change later in the day meant everyone was having to cope with a strong right to left wind. Several fish were missed or lost at the bank during the day, including a Brown for Lee Patten estimated at 6lbs, but ultimately only four were landed. Numbers were down this year, no doubt because of the closure of Draycote Water. Many thanks to Lucy Vizor Eastern region VTL for taking these pictures.
