Cheddar reservoir is a 400 acre concrete bowl, set in the shadow of Cheddar Gorge. On the
right day the venue can be a very pleasant location so taking advantage of a unseasonably
warm December day I set off with my friend Roy for a spot of pike fishing. We had
chosen a swim on the south side of the reservoir with the wind to our backs enabling
us to use our Fox Rage Predator drifter floats to their best advantage. These we set these up at
22ft with sea baits, we also fished a popped up ledgered bait close in.

First cast I had an instant take which turned out to be a
small pike of around 3lb on the drift float, followed by one of around 8lb. Roy
also had one of similar size on the ledgered rig them a 15lber at distance on the drift float, a very nice
fish and fighting fit, so in all a very productive day.
