Nearly one of those days

Dropped the landing net handle in, then my hat then my glasess trying to get them out.  Not the best start to the day. However I managed to get out of a snag, and three miscasts into trees losing only the bait so things were looking up. Cold wind,  bright and clear. On a curfew so no chubbing today.

 Twitch back a yard and it suddenly just couldn't resist the half  herring that it probably had been sizing up for 10 minutes. One for the canoeists to admire,

It had extracted a degree of revenge


Moving rods and this smalller fish took advantage of a break in concentration and put on a show for the dog walkers.

Just texting the Scribbler  and another half herring heading off downriver but fish only briefly on.
