11 July 2021
This time I had 2 rods out for pike using sardines and I tried on rod float fishing with bread for roach. I only had one run on the pike rod which was almost pulled into the water as I forgot to release the spool before I rested it on the pontoon. I just managed to get it in time but the fish was gone. I did get quite a few bites on the float rod but never connected with any of them. Maggots and castors seem to be the most popular baits for Edgelaw. The weather was nice anyway 👍

23 July 2021 Cycled up this morning with 2 rods and a couple of sardines so only stayed for just over an hour or so. Still I had two runs but unfortunately didn't connect with either.

25 July 2021 Two rods out for pike both on sardines. Not a touch. Luckily I had my tenkara rod and some maggots so fished for roach at the same time with better success.

19 September 2021 I had three runs today and hooked up with two feisty pike that headed straight for the weeks and broke me . 07 October 2021 At last caught a nice 7lb pike on a roach deadbait. It was in lovely condition nice and plump. Just mad that I left my camera in the car.

12 October 2021 Fished for 4 hours this afternoon with 2 rods out using roach as bait. Only managed one run which I landed but it was the smallest jackpike I’ve caught at Edgelaw Reservoir and only weighed 1lb. Still I had my Tenkara rod with me and fished for roach and caught a nice roach of 12” which weighed 14 oz on tares and a dozen smaller ones on maggots and castors.

25 November 2021 I had a couple of rods out for pike using sardines at the shallow end. Not a touch in my 3 hour session. Also tried for some roach or perch using maggots, again not one bit. I suppose the fish have moved out into deeper water now the that temperature is falling. I'll try a different spot next time.

02 January 2022 Parked at the shallow end and walked 2/3 of the way down towards the dam. There were quite a few roach showing on the surface which was quite encouraging but no pike showed an interest in my sardines. Another blank.

Tried again this morning for around 3 hours with the usual 3 rods out this time on mackerel strips down at the shallow end. Tried fishing from 3 different platforms over the course of the morning session but not even a run...Again !
