Josh Crook It was my first time fishing the copse lake at Furzebray lakes in Devon, after a slow first 24 hours and seeing nothing in front of me, I grabbed the rods and wondered round to a quiet corner of the lake. It didn’t take long for the left hand rod to rip off amd after a quick battle I slipped the net under a 21lb zip linear. It was evident that the fish were in this corner, so I decided to go back and get the rest of the gear and commit to the new swim for the final night. Just before dark I was in again, this time a upper double mirror falling victim to the right hand rod. Just before light broke on the final morning I had a slow take on the middle rod, quite quickly I could tell this was a better fish, after a good 20 minute battle I managed to slip the net under fish number 3 and the biggest of the weekend a stunning mirror of 32lb.
