Monday and a quick drop by on the commute ticket, this time on the adjacent Wensum. By now the stretch is mostly weed but the shallow bridge pool is worth a go.
It's almost stalking as you can see shapes sidling out to intercept loose feed or approach the bait, under a very shallow set float. Dace were first to show.
But pretty quickly spotty things muscled in. Some were quite small.
And a few were a bit bigger. Either way most spent more time out of the water than in, they were all incredible to look at and all wild bred.
Some of the views were quite ornamental
And others a bit more urban. The town stretch is free and in autumn comes into its own.
I slipped in untroubled by the sentries and was told more or less to bugger off out fishing as Ton Ton Macoute wanted to watch England uninterrupted and that I'd get a steak when I got back. Never look those gift horses in the mouth I say.
Island it was and an hour and a bit on the Source under a waggler. Again. Wind in same direction as last night but several degrees warmer and more slashy rudd surface action than porpoising bream. Managed one of the tench with a pinky hue
And a last gasp bream. Spawning bumps again. It's been on and off for a couple of months
Got home to thumbs up from Ton Ton Macoute as Kane had just sealed the win and a juicy steak with a simple pepper sauce. Result.
