Plunged back into doom and despondency

Buoyed by last weeks three hook ups after  a disappointing year or more pike wise on the river I dropped a  couple of hundred yards or so down to seek out some new fish and yes, halved sardines poked into likely cover given the clear, low river conditions. It was at least almost dark like by three thirty but mild enough. The river seemed lifeless today and not a fish moved, even at dusk. Perhaps they are all in yesterdays aquarium 'swim'.
