Final Weekend of the Season

[Anderoo]

I haven't fished for absolutely ages! Normally I'd have been out every spare second completely overcome with chub fever but it just didn't happen this year, I don't know why. There was a spell where the Thames here was absolutely perfect, I knew where the big chub were likely to be, but I couldn't get motivated. I think I'm probably just bored now of doing the same thing each year and need a new challenge. The lure fishing provided that for a while but that's waning now too. I'd hit the big reservoirs again in a heartbeat but that's only for a short period each autumn.

 

Soon be trout time though, and I'm looking forward to dusting off the fly gear. I think I need to find a new obsession on the coarse side...maybe catfish? Maybe barbel? Maybe even big carp...?!
