02 May 2022 Spent half the morning casting my Deeper Pro fish finder from the shallow end to 3/4 of the way down the reservoir towards the dam end. I didn't even register any shoals of roach or perch on the fishfinder. I could see roach rising far out in the deeper water. The reservoir was the lowest I've ever seen it in 3 years coming here but April has been the driest on record I believe. I only had one pike rod with me and 2 sardines so I cut a sardine in two and ledgered a sardine head close to the lily beds which are just beginning to appear now. Had a run but missed it. Put on the sardine tail and had another run and hooked up for only a couple of seconds then it was off. Took the weight off and put a whole sardine on and freelined close to the weeds. had another run but again didn't manage to hook up. Time to go home but although I blanked I still had some action.

22 May 2022 Another early morning start trying the burn peg. I’ve never really seriously fished here so I’ll give it a couple of hours to see how I get on. The reservoir is very low anyway and at least a short cast out and you’re into a fairly deep channel of at least 10 ft. There are a few roach showing so you never know. Well I ended up with 2 runs and connected with a jackpike of a couple of pounds. I moved down to around the middle of the bay. I had another 2 runs but didn’t connect with either. Quite s hard mornings fishing with the lack of water but at least I never blanked 👍 I had a welcome visitor but sorry my little friend no maggots for you....don't think he'll like sardines

05 June 2022 The reservoir is very low so I'm at the shallow end but headed over to the north side of the bay where the water is dee3per. Trouble is the bank is very steep but luckily the sides are very dry so not too slippery. It would be dangerous if it was wet and slipperty so i'll give it a try. I have a couple of rods out using sardineson one and a makerel strip on the other. Plenty of roach showing but no pike taking and interest in my offerings After an hour or so I decide to move back into slightly shallwer water. First cast caught a small jackpike of around 1lb. Then 3 between 2 - 3 lbs ; a pike almost 5lbs then my biggest of 6.4lbsIt ended up one of my best days yet at Edgelaw for a 4 hour session as I also had 4 runs and missed them. Here is the 6.4lb

10 June 2022 Had a three hour session this morning up at the 'pines' and only had 2 runs but I did manage to bring a nice 5.5lb pike to the net so all in all am pretty pleased with the result. I'm glad I brought my 'Skin So Soft' midge repellant as they were in feeding mode as there was no wind in my first hour and a half of my session until a breeze started thank god.
