A new item in the tackle box

[Guest GlennB]

A spare pair of socks..

 

It wasn't clever, but it was quite funny. At least the bloke in the next peg thought it was.

 

I was out barbelling on the Bristol Avon - sat down, bunged in a few handfuls of hemp, tackled up and cast (scientific like). I'm used to *waiting*, so I turned around to get my flask of tea. Loud clatter of rod leaving the rest and disappearing down the bank. Luckily it was shallow down there so I leapt in. I got the rod back but the fish had shed the hook.

 

The moral of the story folks. Be optimistic. Pay attention.

 

In the end I caught a bunch of nice chub, but barbel-less.

 

tight lines and empty wellies
