My original plan was not to fish until the first weekend in September. The weather over the August Bank Holiday weekend was full of thunderstorms, etc., and not particularly good for days out. With a week of school holidays left to go, the family was happy to let me out for a couple of nights. It was worth a try, at least.
So, with no particular swim in mind, I decided to take a drive around Meadow Lake, as I'd not seen it since late March. It was full of weed this year and I really needed to know how bad it was for the coming winter.
