07 November 2021
Bought a permit to fish for pike at Rosebery Reservoir from 02/11/21 to 31/03/2022. The cost of the permit is £80.
It was very windy today and the reservoir was very high because of the deluge we got last week nevertheless I thought I'd still give it a go with three rods our all using deadbait roach. I tried the shallow end on the north side of the reservoir (dam end) but only had the one run but didn't hook up. I'll try the south end next time and hopefully the weather conditions will be a bit more favourable which I expect will lead to more runs.

09 November 2021 Headed up to the south end of the reservoir and tried my luck there. Caught this nice jackpike of around 3lbs and missed a few good runs as well so quite pleased with my 3 hour session this morning.  |

The usual three rods out all on sardines. Hooked and lost a jackpike and hooked and brought a 3lb rainbow to hand, which took the sardine tail. I was using a single circle hook so the rainbow was quickly released unharmed.

21 November 2021 Sunny but very cold today, still after 20 minutes had a strong run and landed this nice jackpike...off to a good start...unfortunately it went downhill from there and didn't get any more runs thereafter.  |

30 November 2021 Quite mild (9C) after a cold spell so I was hoping that this might bring the pike on. Had two runs and landed one. Quite thin and didn't give up much of a fight, still at least I didn't blank.  |

That's the winter pike season over. I caught 5 jackpike all between 3 - 4 lbs. Nothing big.They'll definitely be some good pike in the reservoir but they all evaded my rods. Perhaps next year.
