Probably put in the most effort this year in trying to fish it but only managed 9 Wye trips between November and February for 13 fish. Only 1 blank but never more than 2 in a day - I think the high levels prevented them from ever staying in one place and shoaling up with the baitfish as they sometimes do.

I was hoping for one last go on the wye tomorrow but unfortunately it’s gonna be too high.. shame as it looks like it would only need a few more days to fine down. Roll on October!

When I was playing with them I was worried they would move more like a snake than a fish - but lovely action to them in the water, can’t wait to test them in some better conditions...Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10282379823630036037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4997330909934674747.post-59275051040383011352020-03-12T09:59:37.601+00:002020-03-12T09:59:37.601+00:00Sushi with hooks on the side :o)Sushi with hooks on the side :o)Dave Burrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09055465175098422464noreply@blogger.com
