Oi you, stop sniggering at the back

The eels  quite like a caster on the irrigation pond and this bugger liked 3. I thought I'd weigh it and it was a rather nice 1.03. It spent some time trying to dig it's tail in the marginal clay.



Didn't set the world on fire but the best of the other bunch were this chunky hybrid and a skimmer. Both went well on the light waggler gear.



Plaintive cuckoo and a sandpiper as well. And some lovely warm sun..

  2. Love catching decent size eels, not so much the little snotty bootlaces though. Theres a few local waters near me with some nice ones resident apparently, but i havnt tried for them yet. Something else to put on the 'things to do' list i guess...
