Double figure delight

Weather man said no rain and a balmy 14 C. Windy though. You cant ignore doubler figure temps in February. Rod and some nearly past their best  reds and casters in the back of the charabanc for a dabble on the way home. Tactical stop at Chicken Town to check emails and field a video call from the boss. 

River low and clear and shorn of it's summer weed fest

Short walk to the bog shed door blue rope swing swim. 10 minutes (well nearly 10 minutes) of loose feeding then an underarm swing of the 4grm balsa. Two yards into the trot the red tip dipped then buried, a sliver dart twisting in the current.

Several followed,  mostly cock fish but no sandpaper scales yet.



The hens definitely plumping up though and by now the browns were muscling in.


Thoroughly pleasant after work session on the pin topped off with this cracking hen of a whopping 10oz. Double figure delight indeed.
