The Oaks, Sessay, Poplars, 11th September 2011
After my day at Drayton, I headed North for the rest of the weekend and decided to fish The Oaks at Sessay, Thirsk. I have an upcoming match with the Anglercabin guys in October that is on the Poplars lake, so this was my chance to familiarse myself with the venue. The Wilton Angling Club were also fishing the lake, they had pegs 20 through to 54, so the pleasure anglers could select pegs 1-19. After having a bacon buttie from the friendly and well stocked on-site cafe and buying some 4mm and 6mm fishery pellets I headed down to the lake and found peg 6 looked inviting. Results from the Wilton Angling Club match on Poplars can be found here . A couple of anglers had already taken up residence on pegs 1-5 and a few more a bit further up. I had peg 7 free and thought I could use that to my advantage later in the day. Set Up Plumbing up I found two and a half feet in the channel, just under two foot in the margin and that the far shelf extended quite far out from the bank
