Fog and mizzle, not even the halcyon blur of a kingfisher could lighten up the gloom, mild though and not a breath of wind. River full to the brim but steady. Maggots nearly a month old and still going. Primed the swim and second trot a missed bite. Didn't miss the next one. Not a netter but what I'd hoped for anyway. A freshly minted roach and a joy to behold.
Who needs to see the float. I see a lot of people just start winding back at the end of the trot instead of doing what you did. I'm sure they miss out on a lot of fish.
