Alver Valley Lake

Johnny mentioned Alver Valley lake, I’d never fished there before but wanted to after hearing about all the good work the fishery team had done to make not only a prolific venue, but also a lovely place to spend some time and a haven for wildlife. A few fish on a cold early spring day sounded like just the ticket, so Johnny and I were all set for Sunday morning.

I arrived at Johnny’s place soon after 8am, being Mother’s day I had to make sure Jessica had given her mum a present, and that breakfast was made before I could leave to go fishing. It was an overcast and decidedly chilly morning, and with the forecast predicting rain later, I didn’t envisage it getting much warmer either.
