River Frome - Wool

 

0815 - 1515

 

Cool, overcast with a stiff and very chilly easterly breeze. AT 1-6ºC. River still dropping and a little coloured. East Stoke EA Gauge reading 1.12m.

 

19 Grayling; 5 'pounders' to 1lb 8oz. 1 Brownie.

 

Penultimate day of the season and at last the river has dropped enough to gamble on a visit. The river has fallen from a high of 1.49m (as measured at E Stoke) in the last 10 days - though was still carrying a bit more colour than I would have liked. As it turned out it was still a bit of a struggle though it got off to a good start with the 1½lb fish in the first 10 minutes - pity I didn't better it and it also turned out to be the only fish I caught on corn all day - all the others falling to maggot. Last swim of the day produced 9 fish in the last hour bringing up a respectable final tally (though I was greeted with 'That's a long way to catch tiddlers!' by my wife when I arrived home!)

Brilliant pic Chris, is that from your phone or a proper camera? I agree with your wife.

:D Taken with my fishing camera - crappy thing I've had for years. If you look carefully you can just make out my float in mid-river!
