Founders

After not been able to get out fishing for a while due to work and frozen lakes I decided to book a day off and do a 24 hour trip to Founders on the Lymm card.

I have only joined Lymm this year and this was my first trip out to one of their waters. Founders is a small water situated in the middle of a golf course but holds carp to the mid twenties.

When I arrived two others were already setup and fishing so I decided to fish the opposite side. I fished one rod over to the island and the other in the margins to my left.

No bites during the day but I did make a new friend who enjoyed sharing my biscuits.

After a few liners I had my first run around 10pm from the margin rod and this resulted in my first fish of the year a Mirror weighing 18lb 7oz.

Nothing else during the night, so I packed up in the morning just happy to have ended my run of blanks.

This was my first trip to Founders and I have come away with a few ideas I think will help on my next visit.
