So this is what 05:40 feels like

[Rusty]

I'm up and the first coffee of the day is gradually morphing me from zombee status to something resembling an enthusiastic angler. Should be bankside by first light if the thought of a warm bed doesn't convince me that I could eek out another half hour.

Good luck! I'm going to be fishing at dusk instead

Conditions were spot on - pity no one told the fish! Dya get much from that flush below the lock?

Yes I did Chris. Spent a good while there constantly feeding the flush with maggots hoping to tempt something other than the tiddler roach I’d been catching. It paid off with a 2-03 perch, my biggest of the day;

 

 

 

Made my way back to the first swim of the day with the intention of fishing into dusk but I didn’t last that long, had one more perch pushing a pound before the wind got up and the early start took its toll. I was pleased with the day though, it felt like it should’ve been fairly easy but it turned out to be bit of a grind so three of my target fish was a decent result.

[Chris Plumb]

Nice one - might give that some attention meself next time. I had a 2lb+ chub and (somewhat ironically) a couple of 1lb+ perch from H. Plus the usual mixed bag - full blog later this evening!
