The Carrs Angling Lakes


Just a little blog of my last couple of trips which have been to The Carr’s Carlton (Stockton-on-Tees).

 
Unfortunately I have been suffering with back pain recently so on my first trip I could only fish the top 3 of my Preston CRX600 pole with a size 6 elastic. However, this paid off superbly and I managed a 17lb mix bag in only a couple of hrs.  

These fish were bagged on the silver lake with is the newest lake on the Carr’s complex. I also met the owner who is a really nice guy.
 
On my second trip to Carr’s I fished lake one on an undisclosed peg and bagged my first ever Barbel, which was followed by another 7 of them in quick succession and my first Chub. I fished the method on this trip with a 8mm pellet on a hair rig.
 

 
 
 
 
  
The third and fourth trip was a bit of a disaster, the third trip was on lake one and I lost about £10 worth of gear, I went home after been snapped 3 times and on the fourth trip i fished the silver lake, it rained for 6 hrs nonstop and I only caught 5 fish.

Hope you enjoyed reading my blog, my next trip is tomorrow for my first Piking experience, so will be up at 5am,
 
I have also invested in a new Shimano Catana spinning rod, a new Shimano reel and various types of spinners.
