Bluebell before bailiffing
Before I ever thought of working
at bluebell lakes I’d completed
four sessions over a period of
around seven years. These four
sessions added up to about ten
nights with varied success.
Session 1: My bluebell
curiously got the better of me
in April 2018 when I decided
me on Swan lake. I also looked
around Kingfisher another big
fish water on the complex. Also
not much available. The only
lake I fancied was Sandmartin
so I settled on the road bank
with Mallard lake behind me.
I plumbed, baited and waited
for two nights with not much
happening.
to take the hour and half
trip from Norwich to Tansor
Peterborough on the boarder
of
Northamptonshire
and
Cambridgeshire in the Nene
valley.
On my first ever visit I’d
hoped to fish Swan lake after
looking through the website
admiring the sizeable beasts
pictured only dreaming I could
catch just one of them.
On my arrival I wasn’t quite
prepared or ready for the
busyness of all the lakes. I’d
dabbled on day tickets like
Linear and locals to home so
I’d expected it to be a busy
place but I was disappointed
to find no swims available for
There was constantly people
arriving and leaving as you
camp on the road side and
people constantly looking for
swims it sure was busy.
I felt like I had to change
something or leave with a blank
with only a night remaining.
A few people had vacated
swims to my left on my last
evening and I suddenly started
to see a few fish show in a
swim that was empty. I acted
quickly and moved all my stuff
into the free swim. It was such
an easy move two swims away
and the fish continued to show
periodically in the swim giving
me a new confidence going
into my last night.
