Dry net on the Avon 03-12-13

Back up to Lacock 

to check out a few more

new swims.

Again arriving around 10 am,

 I decided to try longer

hook lengths today.

Popping into the first swim I soon found 

out that this spot is a tackle 

grave yard. I could not cast beyond the 

the overhang on the far bank without 

snagging up.

Casting short did not produce  any results.

 So after an 1 1/2 hours 

I moved to the next swim.

This time I cast one up stream and one down stream.

Changing the different bait and hook length combos,

again there were takers.

 Next, was a swim I fished last time.

One on the far bank and one on the near bank.

This one had the same result.

However whilst I was answering the mobile,

a log around 12 foot long came by and

snag me up, thought it would miss. 

Must have had a branch

sticking out underneath.

 On to the next swim,

this one had a large tree just down

stream.

Here I tried to free line various baits, once

again I failed to get more than a tug or two.

I now decide to go to my last swim, again

with plenty of cover down stream.

Once again I could not tempt anything out.

With a quite severe headache I decided

to call it a day and was back at the car

around 3.15 pm.

Not a good trip this time,

I don't think I was really in the fishing

mood.
