Bastard wind was still howling from the West at 40mph+ but it wasn't supposed to rain. I did think about a later start in the City for some last day roach but kids teatime is curfew time usually in the week. I slipped in a trotting rod and a waggler rod just in case but no bread....
The roach swim was possibly fishable due to a sheltering spinney so I opted to work the straight above and sneak in if my bread loving co member decided not to turn up. It was definitely a bit blowy and I should have pushed up to that more sheltered church reach but I didn't.
3pm and not one indication of interest in the lamprey sections and I decided to move down to the roach swim. Half way there and the familiar shape of the bread based angler, sneakily without his speccie hat to give the game away. He was on the tip having left the trotting gear at home. He was into some roach straight away. I almost offered my trotting gear to him but instead had a go at bit further up the narrower section with no interest despite quite good trotting conditions. Some persistent twitching of the upstream lamprey float had me investigating and winding down into...Reggie or Ronny
With that I bade bread man good bye and headed home.

DeleteThat Ronnie is a meal in itself. Barney had a liver infection, they haven't a clue where it came from. We've been back once, they took blood and the indicators are falling so it's back again in a fortnight. Thank goodness for insurance, the bill would be a nice tiny win on the lottery. The pies were excellent. Regards, John
ReplyDeleteGood news about Barney. You can't beat a good pork pie but I'm thinking warmed through might be even better......
