Charnwood Day Two 5th July 2011

Colver Lake

Roys Report

I arrived at the complex early again to find the Branston family again setting up for the event. The weather was cloudy with the forecast becoming sunnier and warmer as the day wore on.

As last week’s event proved we decided to concentrate on a bread, luncheon meat and maggot approach, hoping that this would catch more fish. I was expecting the same numbers as the previous week but after the coach arrived it became clear that the numbers were significantly up from last week.

A quick head count showed around 34 attending the event, which meant that we quickly had to set up more facilities around the lake. It also meant that our volunteers would have their work cut out at the start whilst the children were setting up.  

As the event began, it became clear, after an hour, that once again it was going to be a very difficult days fishing. With the amount of children around the lake our resources were, to say the least, hard pushed especially as the numbers were down on last week. This was quickly resolved when a couple of more volunteers arrived.
