This weekend marked the end of the half-term break, and my planned arrival for a fishing trip was set for Saturday morning, extending until the following Tuesday, the 31st. However, it was the last full weekend of fishing on the Airfield Lake before it closed for winter.
Arriving at approximately 0800 hours, I took the path to the right after opening the gate. Expecting to find anglers settled along The Tower Point, I was surprised to discover the island unoccupied, offering an unexpected opportunity. The selection of the right swim was crucial, considering the prevailing southwest wind and the fluctuating barometric pressures, which currently stood below 988 mbs. Forecasts indicated a rise to 1001 mbs on Tuesday, followed by a significant drop to 964 on Thursday.
