Reedy Fen - Part five - Carp fishing

August is upon us and the weather has been hot!
Yet again close attention to the weather gives me the slots in the week to be by the lake to maximise my time by the water. Conditions are favorable but the water temperatures are still high so feeding periods are short and erratic. Perhaps it's time to also get the bivvy out and play the waiting game?

Reedy fen is a farm reservoir with a good stock of carp. Around 5-6 acres, the margins have extensive reed beds with a thick layer of silk-weed growing down the margin slopes. The deepest part of the lake is 28 feet with 14 feet just a few rod lengths out.
