With the wind dropped after yesterdays Westerlies, I headed for the east bank to where I hoped the fish had been blown.
I had a really enjoyable session on the hottest morning of the year and a real mixed bag. A 7lb 4 common and 4lb 8 bream were the only heavy weights, but most fun came on the float less than a rod length out. 2 more bream, 3 perch, and 19 roach, most between 5 and 12 ounces. In a spell when I had a roach shoal in front of me I struck into a bigger fish. Estimating it in fight at 1 to 2lbs, I was cursing when after 30 seconds or so later it dropped off the hook, unseen. So OK, it was probably a perch, or a small tench maybe, but I wish I'd had a glimpse of it. Had it been a roach? I'll never know. Fishing, huh?
