Call the Coastguard

A break in the weather, and a break in the day. Headed for the cool of the pool and came across the Nation's finest  hell bent on an exercise.  Not sure that 'raft' as they insisted on calling it is big enough for them all.

A quiet lunchtime, just them and  some gentle swimmers and kayakers, no tomb stoning yoots, probably still in bed. Quiet on the fish front too, just  a few roach like this one and  a couple of dace.


One of the dace was chomped by this little beastie, which was fun on 2.6lb bs in a good current, tail walking too.


If I'd gone with maggots it would have been loads of these I think.



Might check things out upstream roach wise, bread and corn again, looks nice doesn't it?

  1. It does look nice. Apparently it's a boat if it has an engine and a raft if it doesn't.

    2. No, because it still has an engine on. If the engine fell off then it would become a raft. 😁😁
