0500 - 1100
Warm and sunny after a misty, murky start. AT 16ºC - 25ºC. River low and threadbare.
5 Chub: 5lb 2oz, a 'pounder' and 3 chublets. 14 Dace nothing noteworthy - though they weren't tiddlers either. 6 Roach: hand-sized. 5 Brownies: a 'pounder' and 4 small-uns.
Target for the morning was to try and snaffle a 4lb+ chub for the first time this season - achieved at the second swim of asking after my first one was trashed by a trout. Nice to see some silvers showing. First time in 4 years I've caught more than a dozen dace in a session here. I fished 4 swims in rotation and had dace and/or roach from all of them.
First 5 of the season...
