A Tough Winter

March 2, 2017Cottington Lakesbarrys-blog

Ask most anglers fishing these waters and they’ll agree that its been a tougher than usual winter, with far fewer fish being landed than in recent previous winters. But that’s part of the challenge, to adapt to and fish the conditions and with patience, skill and some luck, hopefully come away happy. Its the same for every angler including our own resident anglers Barry and Ben O’Connor. Despite the conditions, their persistence and expertise have still helped them land some little (or not so little) gems over the winter months. During a session in December Barry and Ben landed these four stunning Mirrors;
