Carp and Water Voles

I made 3 trips to my regular Essex fishery in 2012. Once in April, June and August. We later 2 trips, I fished with a friend and his nephew, we saw water voles which is always nice as they are not all that common these days.

On the first trip I had a few smallish carp and a few really nice bream. Mirror Carp - Cyprinus carpio Mirror Carp - Cyprinus carpio Bream - Abramis brama Bream - Abramis brama Bream - Abramis brama Bream - Abramis brama

The second trip in June, there was a little more variety. Roach - Rutilus rutilus Rudd - Scardinius erythrophthalmus Bream - Abramis brama Common Carp - Cyprinus carpio European Water Vole - Arvicola terrestris

The final trip in August was extremely wet and we fished it in thunderstorms. The fish were still feeding and we had a lot of really nice sized carp in the middle of the storm.
