Far from ideal conditions - but I had to wet a line in the river this Christmas! A couple of hours and a wander. And a sprat lowered into a tiny slack did the trick - a 13lb 6oz River Wye pike - lovely!! (+1.7)

I told you you could catch pike in those conditions. we used to fish in worse when we were kids!
ReplyDeleteGot to be in it to win it! Yeah, we had them in some ridiculous conditions when we were kids!
DeleteGreat nick Brian, I'd fancy your chances at another before you head back! Touch wood a big girl is mooching about.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately out of time this Christmas break, shame as it looks like the conditions will be pretty good next week... But I will be back before the season ends...
DeleteLovely ole job
ReplyDeleteWye pike... My favourite..!
DeleteNot missing too much so far. I had a low double yesterday from the other stretch and wobbled a lot of water today from the town and down but only had 2 jacks. One last go tomorrow I think, soak a few deadbaits and hope for a big one
ReplyDeleteWater levels are looking better everyday. Nice one with another double (and the jacks) - good luck today - hoping for a report of a twenty later..!
DeleteCheers! Unfortunately it wasn’t to be today - I had a jack straight away and then lost one, but then it went quiet. I think the water is still quite cold and the fish dormant...Maybe 1 last go before I head back on Sunday!
DeleteA jack is better than a blank! The twenty will have to wait until next time :-)
