Winter Blues
The cold weather has really put me off fishing recently and I’ve only been out twice in the last couple of weeks. SWMBO even gave me the green light for a trip last Sunday afternoon and I stayed in and watched TV instead!!!!
In the middle of Feb I spent a very cold day on the banks of Debdale Reservoir lure fishing for pike – i was in the company of a dozen other pike fishermen – we all blanked!
Maybe the two inches of snow that fell in the morning didnt help things much.

Know how you feel.
Monday – Entwistle reservoir, Turton, for the First Day (fly fishing). Previous 'first days' I've landed as many as 40 odd Rainbows.
This time, largely frozen, not stocked, caught nowt!
So, I've taken to reading blogs – yours is pretty damn good. Keep it up, you're doing the rest of us a good service.

Blogging is just a way of being involved in fishing when you cant go fishing lol.
Doubles the pleasure for us fishing junkies.
I,ve never fished Entwistle, but will add it to m,y list of places to visit. I love the country areas above Bolton so will give it a try. Is it available on a day ticket?
Hi Mike,
Yes, for about £25.00 (ish). You buy the tickets from a newsagent in the village.
I'll get back to you with the contact details.
Your blog has inspired me to start my own, although it's Plmouth Argyll to your Man Utd.
