Venue: Evaro france

Rig: D rig

Tactics: 4oz lead BOILIE over raked flooded grass bank

Additional Info: Heavy rain cause the river to flood into lake Evaro in France So I saw fish behind the trees that usualy edged the lake. I decided after 6 day of drawing a blank that drastic measures need to be taken. Fishing the rig on a flooded part of the of bank as the lake was almost unfishable . I waded out raked the grass that was flooded and dropped the rig in the middle with a kilo of essential cell. The next moring I was stopped from buy a set of golf clubs by a screaming run. Wich resulted in an epic battle trying to keep the fish from going through the trees and without falling over the edge of waist high flooded peg. My 13ft century c2d Rods done me proud and I got her in the need only to be shocked that it was the big girl.
