Bits and pieces

I'm not one for pb targets and campaigns so it's not surprising it took till Sunday to get on a river and that was only for a few trots and a couple of chucks  with a bunch of worms. River is a bit bigger than it has been for a while which was good to see. The perch are just fantastic to look at.


Had to get the rod out again yesterday for a quick explore a bit further up en transit : dace, small roach, a tiny gudgeon  (and a monster perch which tried to snaffle it). Oh, and this surprise roach x bream hybrid. Which means there must be bream somewhere......


Had to finish off on the Pond, the lack of water is shocking though. It was like a ploughed field in front of me and the fish were mostly buried in the silt with just tails waving about.

A "drop of£".  An abyss of six inches.The Norfolk Mariana Trench. Those holes seem to be swan mussel "burrows" with a regular puff of silt from a blow hole.


When the fish did find the bait in the gloop they came out clean enough though. I had three of these in quick order. A deluge happened last night and this morning. We need them for  a month solid. Just at night mind....


Thought this was my old big scale friend but not so. Manky tail though
