Eric Edwards

Well tonight we were treated to a talk and slideshow by Eric Edwards (who coincidentaly is fan of the daily telegraph).
Eric showed slide of some pike that were on the largish side hes caught and talked his way round some big(ish) lakes.
Eric gave us some of his insights into the theory and practice of fishing some of these waters, a lot of his thoughts were quite interesting to say the least for those of us who fish these kind of places. The points he raised on themoclines (Eric used far more technical terms acompanied by lovely coloured diagrams) shouold give rise to thought for any angler who fishes waters large enough to develop them, following this he produced a partial map of a lake and pointed out a favoured area, then opened it up to the floor to see what other features would be picked out by those of us willing to have a go (Jon was busy with the camera at this point taking pictures and as one wag pointed out it was only for the map and the spots Eric would pick).
All in all quite a thought provoking evening.
So from me thank you Eric
