A few hours out yesterday.....

I checked the EA river level reports this morning with a view to going trotting. Anyhow, the river wasn't ideal for trotting a float, being about a foot and a half up on what I prefer. Against my better judgement I set off to my chosen stretch of water. I arrived at the river at 3pm and I could see it was coloured up a lot, it looked like peat from one of the tribtaries. As I walked along the banks I noticed sanitary towels strewn along it, above the sewage outlet....not good!

I glanced skyward and noticed a mass of black angry looking rain clouds approching me, that was handy, I was only wearing a t-shirt as the report was sunny intervals and no rain, should have known better than trust the weather report!

Anyhow, I fished through the intermittent cloud bursts and as well as getting soaked wet through I caught a good few huge dace and one lonesome barbel before making my way back to the car at 5pm. The reason I didn't stay longer was because the heavy downpours had become a constant heavy downpour and even though the temp was about 18 degrees, being soaking wet as I was left me feeling quite chilly and i'd had enough!

Tigger,

 

Great write-up as always. It's been 45 - 50 years since I subjected myself to the punnishment of ignoring getting soaking wet (on purpose). Fun times.

 

Your photos always reveal something of interest to me. I like those boots - knee high or waders?

Thanks Phone, i'm glad you find my posts interesting.

Getting wet wouldn't have been much concern if the temp's had been as they are now, it's about 28 degrees here now and that rain would be great to cool off in!

The waders are just thigh waders, they just fold down and make walking to the swims less sweaty and they don't restrict your movement as chesties do.

Tigger,

 

Ohh, I like them boots even more. For some reason they look to be mid-calf.

 

Good waders over here fall into the "flyfishing" class. The word "flyfishing" is code for way to expensive.

Believe NOTHING anyones says or writes unless you witness it yourself and even then your eyes can deceive you

None of this "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" crap it just means i have at least two enemies!

 

There is only one opinion i listen to ,its mine and its ALWAYS right even when its wrong

Is this a new fetish phone, or have you always had one about shiny footwear?

 

You'd better sit down if he ever shows you the new stiletto heeled waders. They are not just for show, there's a practical side to them, the 6 inch heels mean you can wade into deeper water.

Angling is more than just catching fish, if it wasn't it would just be called 'catching'......... John

To all concerned...the waders are not polished!!

 

They were still wet after walking out of the river seconds before taking the picture...I repeat, they are not polished LOL.

 

The make of the waders is Aigle, crackin waders by the way!
