Queen Of The Jungle
Twickenham, Middlesex angler Virginia Rusher tempted a lovely 3lb 2oz crucian carp during a boat session on the Old Lake with husband Bill. Mooring the punt alongside the jungle, Virginia set about catching loads of tench, which she caught to 6lb together with bream and carp to double figures. Virginia used her favourite 9’ stalking rod and centre pin reel loaded with 0.21mm Reflo Powerline to present paste baits on a size 10 barbless hook beneath a small waggler fished tight to the overhanging trees. Bill also had a good bag of tench but had to concede that Virginia’s catch which was close to 100lb was well in front of his own.
The jungle is famous at this time of year for its big tench bags with fish to 9lb+ often showing, it is less known that the Old Lake holds some huge crucian amongst them a British Record! Indeed, we have already seen a dozen or so big crucian caught this season, the best being a 4lb 5oz specimen. For the latest news visit www.buryhillfisheries.com.
