An early morning start, time to track down a Spring dace and I could spot them in the clear water - but the trout repeatedly beat them to the trotted breadflake. A few times I struck into silver...
And careful fights before my hopes were dashed when small chub broke the surface. No dace landed! The weather started to turn nasty - I should have headed for home - but I had the barbel gear...
Barbel #238 - it's raining...
Barbel #239 - rain is getting heavier...
Barbel #240 - pissing down!

Apart from no dace as good morning.
ReplyDeleteThe weird thing was I could see dace & chub, didn’t spot any trout - yet when I trotted through them a trout seemed to appear from nowhere. But yeah, apart from getting soaked through not a bad trip :-)
