No bream today

Road works again, lots of fun getting in and out of the majestic mile long sweep of the gravelled drive of BureBoi Villas for a while then.. 

Another sortie on the river before tea, this time in a local swimming spot so I opted for a float so at least the general area I was fishing would be visible to the local Crewdem. I know early morning or later would be better but the fish must get used to the commotion. A bonus was fishing in shade and I love the sound and smell  of a weir. A swing out to the eyeot and trot up the back eddy. I'll try wading out to it next time.

Must have been thick with fish as not much trot before a dip of the float and a nice show for the passing traffic. The extra length of the Greys 15 footer very useful for keeping the line  to the float under control at that distance, and a bit more impressive to look at in action too. This was said action with a skippy little brownie on the end of my line.

Said skippy brownie.

The rest on the float were dace, not anything really decent but fun anyway. I do think I need to get set up better on that eyeot with a decent feeding pattern to get the better dace and roach on it, and a few chublets too. And of course some brownies.

The Crewdem must have been called home for their Turkey Twizzlers as it went quiet so spent 10 minutes rolling a worm and had this bristling swaggery perch before going home for my tea too.

Which wasn't Turkey Twizzlers this time anyway.
