Spring is definitely very close Brian, hopefully the tench will be stirring in their beds. I reckon that mallard's nest is more like a commune - or is it a ducky practical joke?

I want them all in a line please, doesn't have to be straight but if they can be in age order that would be great!

DeleteExcellent going mate! cruising to 1450 Barbel and should do it before March 14th!
ReplyDeleteBefore the season started I wasn’t sure I was even going to catch a barbel - so 200 is beyond my wildest dreams - any more will just be a bonus!
DeleteIt has been some achievement mate that is for sure!!!
DeleteCheers, it’s a tough job but someone’s got to do it :-)
