Countdown


Time is running out of the river season and there are still a few targets I have left on my list, so this morning I was on the riverbank to watch the sun rise - stick and pin in hand.


It took a while to get the fish feeding, eventually they did. Plenty of dace and chub, two roach the best going 1lb 9oz - best of the season. And a 2oz gudgeon - biggest one I've weighed this season.


In fact I debated whether or not to stay, they were on the feed and lack of keepnet wasn't putting them off. But I also had the predator gear and fancied a pike on the way home...


Yeah, what did you think I’d choose..?

    1. Might have been different if I’d dragged myself away piking and not caught one. As it turns out I didn’t have to worry.

    1. Cheers, wanted a pound plus river roach before we ran out of season - left it to the last minute but lucked in.

  4. A grand haul. Sadly my river season is all but done. My mate described the Wye as a 'Giant Slushy the colour that shouts blank!'

    1. Cheers. My Dad said something similar about The Wye, but probably not quite as well put!
