Sunday morning...

The day started very early, at the first light of morning we reached the lake looking for the most immediately accessible. Certainly without any knowledge of the lake, although in the exploratory phase, every place has its risks of failure. However, position ourselves near the dam, the lake in an area apparently devoid of brush on the bottom, and suitable for bottom fishing.So we begin our adventure. We have everything you need: pasture, corn, maggots, bread and lots of patience and will.



 

As expected the first few hours passed and no one sees or feels, but the rewards were not long in coming.Although this time Time passes serenely, that in these years of fishing and friendship we have learned is that only with peace and tranquility you get results in every situation.Actually did not even know which fish populate the lake, but we had no doubt of the presence of carp, although we had hoped in some other inhabitant.Finally, a bite, have gone nearly two hours, she was the queen, a splendid carp, small, but it will be 200g vigorous pulls. We are happy because the fish are doing well and we will cheer your day.We are open to the dances, the fish came into mangianza at last we see even small herds of Gambusia, which now had lost track in recent years in our Sicilian lakes.At noon the wind rises and the lake ripples, from our experience we know that with these conditions do not eat fish, and are wary of the surprise meteopatici .... and instead, trusted friend of the barrel and you hear a hissing curved tip. The rod is light, not of the great battles, moreover we are only now being survey. But the barrel is defended well, the tip action does not disappoint and after some ten minutes of resistance, and a brilliantly fast and loose governed by the friction of the reel, landing net yields in a splendid specimen of 2 kg of Queen, photo rite immediata.Eccola and liberation in all its splendor
Also this time we are proud of our work, we got the best places without knowing. I decided to explore close everything and move in the oldest part of the lake and marshy, so it explains a room just met. We think there should have more confidence in the fish to live, because the conditions have not changed over the years.It looks much more natural than the rest of the lake, the bottom is not much but it is less easy to access, with the risk of visits from curious cows. But once again, despite some reluctance on my part, position ourselves in the fishing and ripasturiamo.What about the scenario changes, nothing calm horizon. Then we use the change bait and maggots, so far only corn bread and gave results.Here is the explanation just entered the vehemence with two maggots bite Roaches hungry. Now we understand everything, loves change and start catching roach and small carp greedy.It is the old part of the lake where it gives confidence to the fish lay their eggs and give birth to their young.Also this time we have discovered how nature is attentive to its inhabitants.Here's the photo last post
