Rain, Glorious Rain


It's raining. Proper rain! I know I'll soon be complaing about endless floods - but the rivers are desperate for it right now. And while I'm waiting for the water to find it's way into the rivers - a few more carp between the storms to wrap up the summer season. Lovely.

Meanwhile James has been continuing his barbel 40 River Double Challenge - double number 33 on the scorecard - could it be a new river record? Blog post is here.

  1. You are really hauling ass on the Carp front.

    And cheers for the plug my man! It was a magical moment, won't forget it in a hurry.

    1. Starting to get the hang of it - carp have never been my thing but getting the bug. Ideal species for the hot summers when the rivers are out of action - looking into targeting some bigger specimens next summer.

      No problem, great result on the barbel challenge!

    2. Totally agree on the Carp front, it can be very enjoyable and they don't half hang on!

      Fishing eh...throws up some proper curve balls at times.
