Splash & Faff


Another afternoon on the Small River - wandering about in the last of the summer sunshine. No rush, just scanning the river as I mooched about - ten barbel plus an ornamental koi - smashing!


7lb 3oz (top), 7lb 0oz above.


Half time...


6lb 0oz above, someone's pet koi (below)

  1. Proper fishing, you can't beat travelling light.

  2. This reminds me of a time when, as a lad, I practised catching chub with fly tackle. Great fun. The fish were in an ornamental pond in my back garden and the fly was replaced a pond pellet.
    Try that with the barbel. I know a chap who stalked and caught an eel doing that.
