Tench Fishing at Forest Park Lakes

The lakes are an 80km drive from Wellington, but well worth it. They are an absolutely lovely place to fish and contain a good head of Tench and Perch. On the down side they contain plenty of Eels, which I loathe with a passion.

It was hot and sunny and not the best conditions for catching Tench but I managed to catch three (along with seven Eels!), including one of about 5lbs which is a good size in this part of the world.

 The perfect fishing spot, and I didn't see anyone else all day.

If you look carefully you can see my float and lots of bubbles. The bubbles, alas, were mostly from the Eels.

 I caught lots of these.....

But also a few of these.
