Snow Melt


Not ideal conditions, fishing in the snow-melt - but at least it wasn't freezing cold! And a herring deadbait lowered into a little slack soon brought a run - convinced I was attached to a twenty - but at 19lb 10oz I'm not complaining! Glad I'm not counting the hours-per-pike though.

Records: 1.3 (falling), 3° (cold/bright), float-ledgered herring.

      Cheers Dave, hard going this season - but a fish like that makes it all worthwhile!

      Thanks Dylan, hoped I bump into one or two big girls over the winter - it’ll keep me heading out into the cold, see if I can find another…

      If only she’d eaten a 6oz chub on route to my bait! But I really don’t mind - lovely big pike!
