I also went on my own at a place on Bodmin Moor called East Rose Farm. I tried the carp lake for the morning but didn’t have much luck. I tried method feeder with groundbait and sweetcorn and also a closed feeder with maggots. Both were pestered continuously by the thousands of small rudd and roach in the pool. I then tried a boilie but was having no luck. It then began to hammer down with rain so I hid under the umbrella for quite a while.
When it finally eased off I moved to the top lake. Again the feeder was pestered by small fish and it soon began to rain again, so I gave up and just left the boilie rod fishing. I noticed several heavy ish rod tip knocks that were certainly no rudd or roach. I had been told the lake was good for tench so that’s what I think it may have been. If it wasn’t for the rain I would have changed tactics. Eventually I hooked a fish which turned out to be a tench of about 3lb 8 oz. When the rain finally subsided I packed up but it wasn’t an entirely wasted day after all.
