Back track

 A couple of posts to catch up to come.  This one because I'm hoping to drop by Chicken Town for an hour on the way home tomorrow to see what's changed.

Chicken town was chicken-less,  perhaps  because of the new regs  requiring any poultry or fowl to be registered. Anyways the poxy ducks were still there by Chicken Bridge so down a bit further, pellet waggler to ride the flow as I'd be casting over with a fixed spool, not a centre pin.

Unusually of late, the 'silvers' were first to the bait in front of the spotties for quite a while. Pleasing shape on this roach.

This one having the dark colouration and more rounded caudal fin lobes I only seem to see this far up river.

I've noticed in general that some dace seem to be developing a plumper body shape too.

Inevitably the spotties did turn up in numbers and that tends to see the roach and dace back off. Plenty of starburst patterns on them.
