My plan
I arrived about 1:30pm. My plan for today was load my car with equipment for two types of session. Firstly I would rove with very little tackle (not even a seat/chair), fisghing with bread, starting at peg 1 and making my way down river and fishing until approximately 5pm. Then I would head back to the car, have my pack-up, swap to my heavy feeder rods, get a chair and head back to settle into peg 5 until dusk.
Roving
Peg 1
I had sevaral twitches but no positive bites.
Peg 3
Nothing.
Peg 4
One light twitch but no bites.
Peg 5
Nothing.
Peg 6
Nothing.
Peg 9
Nothing.
Peg 11
A few early twitches a metre or so out from the small downstream branch/feature. I then managed a small Chub of around 1lb.
Peg 14
I had a couple twitches and then bites that I missed. At around 16:45 I got a Chub of around 1lb 8oz.
Evening on peg 5
It was a very quiet evening with hardly a twitch. I got a take at around 8:20 and landed a small Barbel of 3lb.
So, what have I learned
So far this year I have caught quite a few small “puppy” Chub and some Barbel that are all smaller than I caught last year. This bodes really well for the future as these fish will undoubtedly become the specimens of future years.
