Zig Bug Success

Nash ace employs new zigs to fool 41 pounder on new venue.
It's no wonder Nash ace Jerry Hammond has a smile on his face, at over 41lb there aren’t many better results for a first visit to a new water.

The hefty 41lb 8oz mirror fell to Essex-based Jerry's tactics as he tackled Lee Valley Park’s Bowyer Lakes for the very first time.

Fishing the new Nash Zig Bugs on two rods, Jerry spent a fish-less night at the venue before a switch of swim to target deeper water changed his fortunes. And he didn’t have to wait too long for the fish to show up in the new spot either, with the specimen setting his reel screaming before he’d even had chance to turn his alarms on.

The first fish to be caught from the water since last autumn, it is also believed that this is only the second time that this fish has come to the bank in the past 3years.
