Today was probably my last on the rivers this season, woke to a frost then a 'wintry mix' followed by actual rain. Wasn't on the river till 2.30 and a nasty mean cold down streamer made things tough so every bite hit was a bonus. Had to alter my position several times to try and exert some control to hold back, but the smaller dace roach and chub were determined enough to chase the maggots, but I wonder if the bigger, wiser ones were more choosy. Toodle pip and roll on the tench.
Not a bad end of the river season.
