Had an afternoon session on the Ouse with my old mate Reg today. Unusually there were a couple of cars in the car park and sods law dictated they were in my 2 favoured swims so pastures new it was. River very low and slow and in desperate need of rain and the peg I picked had 11ft a rod length out which appeared to be solid with Bleak and small Dace, they were stripping the maggots before I could get down to where I thought the Roach might be. On the upside there was some predator activity so eventually after losing patience with the mini fish one went on as a live bait which ultimately tempted a nice Perch of 2lb 2oz  I did manage a couple of reasonable Roach on Tares but the mini fish were even attacking that bait at times, we packed up just as the sorely needed rain started. Oh and Reg insisted I gave him credit for taking the photos, least I can do seeing as he didn't catch anything  |

Great photo of a lovely fish - I had to load this thread 3 times before the photo showed on Claire's strange little computer though!

One day I took about 25 hot dog sausages in a bait box. Ate at least 15 of them meself. They remind me of going to the match as a kid. *footy match that is. Not fishing match. |
