Three runs for 117lbs of fish? That's just not fair. The only time I had two rods go off together I lost them both :doh:

Chance is always powerful. Let your hook be always cast; in the pool where you least expect it, there will be a fish

The carp that was, for me, most impressive of Jamie's trio... The Long Common at a new biggest weight of 42lb 15oz.... :Ok:

I just watched the video...what a super film....I'd never even heard of Ashmead so steered clear of this thread, not for not wanting to read about it but not feeling that I could contribute. I'm now glad I did click on it and read it....sorry for being so Naive. :surrender:

What a fabulous place Ashmead looks to be. We need lots more fisheries like this.

Good luck to heather By the way, I'm sure she's destined for bigger things. :Hat:

God never did make a more calm, quiet, innocent recreation than angling.

Thank you Kingfisher.... Heather is currently working on Autumn watch and Winter watch.... I hope to get her back down to Ashmead though, to make a purely fishing film at the wetland - hopefully stalking some rather large carp.
