Mediocre at best

Desultory couple of hours on the river to start the weekend, raging toothache, sinusitis and a painful earache not made better by endless tangles and small (tiny) dace and roach in every swim I tried. Sunday not a lot better heath wise but some nice roach, pigs and this stonking tench, all on corn in between the showers. Getting dark early these days.

Not the bag fest I hoped for yesterday and just dull nagging discomfort. Nice to get a hybrid for variety amongst the not quite netter roach. 


Boring morning behind a pair of bobbins today, some mud pig rod bending 


but the best bit was the endless tea and this egg and bacon toastie. 


The un-cremated bacon hidden from the Loafer who claimed from afar that it was almost raw. Still wincing when I eat.
