Feeding?


I couldn't resist a few hours on the riverbank this afternoon to see if the barbel were feeding, long story short... No!

I did tempt this beautiful little common carp, 3lb 12oz, and the only other fish to grace the net was a chub that really looked like he wanted to go 4lb+ but he was a very hollow 3lb 15oz.

I'll be back...

      And still didn't get a decent photo of a male.

    Barbel, carp, pike, trout,... Whenever we see a photograph of Brian, he always has a (large) fish in his hands. Well done. Now the season can start!

      Really dark bronze fish, beautiful... Wish it was 10lb bigger but not complaining.

      Good luck tonight, might give it a whirl myself!

    A crackin river carp. Never had a carp from the rivers myself. Still firmly on the target list.

      Thanks. I love river carp, the still water ones don't hold great appeal. My PB is 14lb but a river twenty is on my target list.
