We have had, like most of the country some serious rain courtesy of Storm Claudia but the land must be so dry the Upper Wensum was just a bit fresher but that's all. A lot the summer weed has gone but the banks are still over grown and a lot of woody debris waiting for a proper flush through. Tried the ponded section above the mill, slap bang in the town stretch, a roach first trot then a run of small but lovely coloured wild browns but bites soon dried up. More of a groundbait and and build up bites section perhaps.
Check this three trots, three fish result. Proper roach them. Only a short foray but walking back to the charabanc did see some better glides to fish from from the opposite bank another day.
Nice roach. Although an AI description of the last photo seems to have a few problems
ReplyDelete"Four common carp fish with reddish fins and scales lie in a green fishing net on a grassy area with scattered brown leaves and green grass blades. A brown wooden fishing rod handle rests against the net. A silver spinning reel with black accents and multiple spokes sits beside the net. The fish appear freshly caught with wet scales reflecting light."
