Corn fed

Absolute shocker of a wind all day. Thought I'd have a look see, rods in the back  just in case. The mill pool now free of debris, and a different gate opened. Bloke right at  the tail end, wading in a bit of lee. Nymphs under a big bright dry strike indicator.  Caught some nice dace as we talked. Simple cast, let the line come round and in a certain spot lift the rod anticipating a take.

Decided that it would be worth ago in the Aquarium for an hour and a half to see if the corn would pick out some better fish Difficult to keep the float steady even with weight down and this hampered my efforts greatly. More chance of a bite in a lull, and mostly it would be corn spewing chublets



The first roach I hooked l lost at the net and it was comfortably bigger than the 1.06 from Saturday. Did have a handful more but no real consolations for the loss.



Maggots just produced small dace and smaller roach. Tonight more rain forecast then sleet first thing but winds dropping by half. Think I'll give it a go again.

  2. It's best if they fall off before you see them then you can pretend it wasn't that big.
