Frome out of sorts. 25-11-12

The River Frome was not happy

today after all that rain.

 The river was up

by about 5 feet.

 I could have caught some

Minnows over the path,

that is hidden by the flood water.

 Short video of the wear below Vassle / Oldbury

Court. 

Weather for the week!

Getting dryer and colder

with a northerly wind,

and frost at night.

Might catch some fish

later in the week.

Good morning on the Frome. 16-11-12

Popped down the Bristol Frome

this morning from 09.00 till 12.00.

Took the trusty Maver rod and

Okuma Sheffield centre pin reel.

My usual lower swims failed

to produced.

So headed up stream.

and one swim fished its head off.

The following fish were caught 

during two sessions there.

First non Minnow was this

Roach at around 1/2 lb.

 Followed soon after by this

cracking

1lb 6oz Roach.

 After a stroll and

stopping off at a few

more swims 

up stream.

With only a few Minnows

showing.

I returned to bend swim.

Straight away

I had another

Roach

followed by this 

1/2lb Chub.

 Then this 1lb chub

on the next cast.

 Once again on the next cast

this

1lb 1oz

Roach was a short but deep fish.

 A couple of casts later

this beautiful

2lb 2oz Chub

came to net. 

With a couple of dozen Minnows,

a small trout and a few more smaller Roach,

loads of sunken leaves,

and a 3 foot broken dog lead

That proved to be in the top

10 fishing trips on the Frome.
