Well done , Chris, for pulling the iron from the fire (perch from the ice?) after a tricky day. I had an even more paltry session on the Moors the day before, mind you, it was minus-4 as I arrived, so may have been better off practising my triple-Lutz's  on what was then thick ice on the canal.

I always expect to struggle, but it's a worry for the river when masters like you have a sub-parr(!) day.

Aye it's bin a bit cold recently and chub are about the only 'reliable' feeders when the mercury is down (and grayling!). Fail to find them and it's going to be a struggle. Yesterday saw my new base layer make its debut - leggings and long sleeve vest - a Christmas pressie from my youngest. Toasty all day, so they passed with flying colours!!
