Spring 2008 has left anglers facing some unprecedented high water levels on many lakes and rivers both here and abroad. The rainfall in France, similar to Good old Blighty over the last 3 months, has been high and continual.
So what can we do when faced with more water than we bargained for?
The first thing to remember is the carp are still in the lake and usually still wanting to feed. Whilst sudden influxes of cold water can slow down the carps metabolism, in most cases the water is still overall warming up, with day and night time temperatures picking up as the season goes on. So look to the margins & other shallower water areas where the water is warmest because this is undoubtedly where the carp are likely to be.
