Fished Willow Mere for a few hours this morning

Few small roach to corn, no sign of the tench or "brown goldfish" promised by the rulebook!

Some very nice carp cruising the surface though, some of them looked to be upper doubles, maybe even low 20's!

In all honesty I've got to say don't bother with maggots, the place was literally swarming with 2 inch roach, you'll never get a maggot down through them!

Every time I put a ball of groundbait in the water literally "boiled" in front of me!
