I had it all worked out after seeing a no rain forecast. Graft early doors, listen to Yates on the radio box, stop for a well earned posh coffee then an hour on the river.
Rain mostly all morning. Coffee earlier than expected, very nice but 3.25? Deli a bit sparse too but if you like beans....
To the river, portly piscator by mill pool resolutely keeping schtum on how he'd been fairing, not even a sausage proffered.
Rain begins, shelter under tree brief break lovely rainbow.
Discover my estimate on quantity of maggots left was about as accurate as Chris Grayling's grip on public money, Sparse baiting in two or three glides bought bites in everyone at least in between more tree sheltering. I did have a bigger than normal strand of silkweed taken by a pike on the retrieve but it soon let go.
Next time....
Ah, the olde pike attacks silk weed story. You never read about it in the angling press do you.
