Another afternoon excursion, this time at the top of the stretch. Big old pool below the bridge has been kind in the past but in truth it's more of a waggler or feeder spot, being wide. This top end has had several de-waterings but I had heard enough whispers so gave it a go, albeit on the pin. Absolutely packed with mainly dace but also jewel like high backed roach. However none would have made 3 inches, easy pickings for a perch.
All good signs for the future. Louder shouts (pics gave it away chaps) from above the bridge and an easier cast even a way over. However, the gutter looked good and so it proved, holding back or tripping over the gravel every trot a bite, Decent dace and plenty of gudgeon.
And on one line the float went down in exactly the same spot, three trots in a row. Three silvery roach that all needed the net. Happy days.
Nice fishing Waaaak.
