Running Wild


It's good to be back on running water...


Quick afternoon mission to the Small River...


And 15 barbel (mostly 4-6lb) and 4 chub (to 4lb) found the net...


Including this little mutant with no pelvic fins. Love a mutant fish!

    Odd fish that Brian, almost looks like they were there at sometime in its life though?

      Not sure, I think that’s just a mark where they should have been. But I’ve had chub, carp, pike and now barbel missing pelvic fins - seems a fairly common cross-species mutation.

      I wonder if people catch them and don’t notice? But yeah, more than my fair share I think!

    Missing fins and spots, I bet that one had a tough time at school.
