Well the grass need mowing, spring is definitely here, it's just a shame
it's not a bit warmer. I really do hate gardening, it's just not for me.
Thankful...

Interesting. I once put a jelly crayfish in a swim full of chub and they departed in every direction. Was it that little green job that enticed the barbel?
ReplyDeleteI thought I had some jelly crayfish here - they might work on barbel. A brown version of the ‘little green job’ scored the take (and was destroyed in the process).
DeleteThink I’m going to use smaller lures and be a bit more delicate in my approach next time - I was basically pike fishing for barbel - probably scaring the crap out of them!
Sounds like a plan. Small and soft lures cast or trundled down to fish you can see should work. Mate of mine has had plenty on nymphs.
DeleteI’ll give it a whirl. And one on the fly is still on the list - I seem to like making life difficult for myself ;-)
