feature and the other two rods
had a max of 40 yard in front
as the river bank controlled
the middle of the lake. I could
see bait boats cruising way
past my water I was shocked
at the layout of the swims and
the water they controlled as
I’d never fished kingy before.
It was much smaller than Swan
not necessarily essential to
success. If you own one and
you plan to fish bluebell you
may as well take it.
I never caught on my last
night but always wished to
have a go properly for one of
the kingy beasts one day.
I went home more than
happy with my Swan lake
and I remember thinking how
mad it was how many big fish
it held. Almost certainly it had
small water syndrome. Tricky
as fuck I’d say.
A lad from Leeds has
bucketed my swim from when
my time ran out and bivvied
next door and was warning me
I needed a bait boat for sure
to catch on kingy. I’d never
used a bait boat as they were
banned on most of the waters
I’d previously fished or I’d
never chosen to use them.
Looking back at what I know
about bluebell now I’d say they
are definitely an advantage in
many situations in fishing for
very tricky day ticket fish but
relic of a common. It’s why
we all go to bluebell. Mission
accomplished.
Session 4: My final visit was
a quick overnighter on the way
home from barbel fishing on
the river Trent in November.
I opted for kingfisher again
in a swim called willows in
a nice quiet corner. The lake
was nice and quiet as clocks
had gone back and the masses
were at home in the warm.
Not much to report on this
session. All I’d say with the
knowledge I possess now about
kingfisher is you will need
more than a quick overnighter
for success on there. Another
headbanger of a lake.
