Are you chasing a few last extra points in your spices race competition?

I had a couple of corianders out of knotford a few years ago and I had a hot tip from the guy in my local tackle shop that there are several chillies that lurk in the car park peg at sandwath. I will be giving these venues a go on the first day of next month if you fancy cumin !

Last trip today and back to Pool (but a bit further downstream than Tuesday) to use up my remaining maggots. As I arrived news came through that my main rival in this years species race had captured a 4lb'ish Rainbow whilst Piking at Farmoor so it looks like I've been pipped at the post. My only chance was a PB Grayling 2lb 6oz or over and whilst I did manage a new PB of 2lb 6oz it wasn't a Grayling

Steady on mate they are out of season now you know!!! I know but it fought so long and hard on light tackle in the fast water I felt obliged to rest it in the net for a while before releasing and didn't see any harm in a quick photo (I was in the river with the camera on the bank) Last day of the species race today but I don't fish weekends I babysit granddaughters

Want to feel like I'm really using the yearbook. If I could get to any 4 of those 6 by the 14th March, I'd be well satisfied, and 5 would be brilliant. Well in those 5 weekends, I made it to all 4 of the venues on my list that I'd not been to before plus about 5 other venues that were new to me, so my target-setting worked well. (as for targets for the actual fish, nah, not my style ) I just worked out that in my fist 7 months of fishing since 1979, I've fished 8 venues on the Aire, 8 on the Wharfe, 4 venues on the Ouse, 2 on the Nidd, 2 on the Swale, 1 on the Ure, 1 on the Derwent and 1 on the Calder, plus a few canals. And a pond. Not bad at all, and way more venues than I fished in total in all my fishing seasons as a kid up to 1979 (if you don't count holidays in ireland). As i've said before, i grew up 25 miles from a decent river and venues like these Yorkshire rivers were the stuff of dreams back then. Don't know why it took me so long to get back to it! Look out trout here I come.
