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)

Proper fishing, you can't beat travelling light.
ReplyDeleteThis 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.
ReplyDeleteTry that with the barbel. I know a chap who stalked and caught an eel doing that.
Great to see the last of the sun. Hopefully its dry when I am down in October.
