Had to have a few trots today. Well you do don't you. Especially when it remains so mild. Rain did threaten and indeed end the brief foray but not enough to dampen my spirits. Went with red maggot and whilst not a coconut every chuck fun enough. I have had to retire my pin whilst I track down a spare screw for the reel seat. Definitely less control with a fixed spool but a lot quicker to retrieve at the end of the trot.
Best roach of the session just before I called it quits. They do pull in what is a good flush of water through the pool. Had some decent dace, a tiny perch, some tinier gonks and two fecking crays.
A lot better marked and a fair bit more solid than the fish last weekend this spottie did a good tour of the pool before hitting the net.
Speaking of spotties The Essex Scribbler did a great double on the fly recently, a mullet and then this fantastic silver tourist from a localish estuary. Bet it went well on his 5 weight.
