Slightly longer trip today, and the snood had to work hard to keep my head parts warm. ENE with wind speed in the high teens. Just the one sign of life after a recast. For a small fish on a 3lb TC rod it certainly took a tour of the river. Lovely clean fish. Still on the blueys even though I have a pack of very expensive lamprey lurking in the freezer now. Next time.......
My erstwhile chubbing companion had two missed pulls on flake (he told me). Seemed to be more like crust cubes being struck off and floating down to be fair. He wasn't even wearing gloves. Another member had a stonking great thing with spots on it, 7lb of wild broon trooot. Fan flipping tastic Not sure if he was wearing gloves, or a snood. His ghillie went in up to his waist netting it for him.
More stinking mud than ice cold water but even so.....
