A evenings tinkering...

[Tigger]

With the rivers soon to be opening for course fishing I doubt i'll be doing much still water fishing this summer so I had a session tench fishing last night. The venue is a seldom fished and off the beaten track type of water where the fish have thrived on neglect...as they do. I had a session on this water recently and caught a few perch up to around 3lb, some rudd to 2lb plus and chunky eels but no tench. Last night my luck changed and I had some perch to just over a pound a few small rudd but some lovely tinca's to 6 1/2 lb that made the effort worth while....

Cracking tench there mate, I wish I knew a seldom fished water like that.

Me too, they've all gone from around here.

Nice catch Ian, and as usual good honest photos.

Nice one, I'd rather see pics of a 2lb Rudd though!

Lovely tench Tigger!

 

All look in gorgeous condition.

So would I - preferably in the bottom of my landing net!

Thank's for the comments gent's .

I might sacrifice a few sessions on the river to do a little more tench fishing....I really do like float fishing for them.
