Tigger, You need thumped on the noggin. LL Bean $300 Phone

I went for a last cast of the season on the river today, the river was up a couple of foot and dirty coloured. There was a horrible downstream wind but the rain was holding off.....for now. I had a chub after half an hours trotting by which time the incoming tide was rapidly knocking the levels up and it was pi$$in down with rain. I moved a few hundred yards upstream and set up a link leger. The river was flowing backwards now and my float hadn't been out for more than a couple of minuites when it slid away and another chub graced the net. A short time after that and the float shot off below the surface and the powerful fish bolted off to mid river where the hook pulled out. By this time my hooded cotton top was soaking and my neck, back and shoulders were cold and aching, my hands were going knumb also!....feck it, id had enough, time to hoof off home for a warm cuppa!
