Corn fed

I do like a tench. Seems I am mostly catching single males at the moment amongst the snotties, wherever I go, They do bomb about a bit

I'm sure there are tench somewhere on this bit of the tidal, but probably not in the pool but you never know. It's even busier post furlough, with swimmers and kayakers from dawn to dusk it seems.

Got there about  7.30 and it was cooling down, and after some litter picking and scowling at the yoots set up at the head of a nice back eddy, and having watched some video footage of the pools inhabitants reactions to feed I fed a small egg of left over groundbait and corn, with a golden grain picked out of the still defrosting groundbait on a size 14 B560 . Nice trot off the rod tip along the apron, avoiding the swimming yoots as best as I could. First trot and the float buried as it started its trundle back into the main push. Lovely in the fast water with the pin and the 15 footer.

Mostly roach but some dace too, but no chublets. Worms and I would have had lots of perch I'm sure.

At one point relations with the dive bombing yoots became a little strained when one set about trying to light  a bush and a bin. I chucked a lot of c bombs at him which  might have been heard in Wroxham, to which he sheepishly slunk off whilst his mates came round to see what the fishing was like, one even stood in the water to put some fish back for me. Yoots being yoots they spotted some yootesses and  went back to jumping in again.

With relatively clear water in front of me the catch rate improved as did the stamp of the roach. One of those occasions if you don't get  a bite you have a tangle or no bait on the hook  Deffo worth another bash and perhaps a wade down the tail flush where the  jumpers fear to bomb.

9ish and the lure boys arrived as I was packing up, including Robbie of the North with tales of  a few makkies coming out again but evening tides are now night tides so not for me. Got me some bass tips though.
