Quick trip to the chalk stream - stick 'n' pin and half a loaf of bread - I could see roach, and chub, and dace...
But the only the trout wanted to play - even trying to avoid them I still managed over a dozen (including this one twice)...
The only non-trout species was this goldfish! Still it was great to be on the winter river - and great to get a bend in the rod!

A river that's fishable, you lucky sod. ;o)
ReplyDeleteIt’s normally fishable being such a short stream - if it’s not just wait an hour. But whether or not the fish want to play is a different story…
DeleteSomething different
ReplyDeleteMy fourth goldfish of the season!!! :-)
DeleteSometimes trout are just to greedy/stupid
ReplyDeleteYeah, have managed the same brownie three times in 3 casts before. Unless you’re targeting them - bit more fussy then!
