River Avon 20-01-14

With She Who Must Be Obeyed

getting better  quicker than expected

I trundled up the misty M4 

to Lacock.

With a heavy frost on the ground

and the Avon inside its bank (Just)

I set my usual rigs with

Maggot, Worm, Luncheon meat and Pellets

for bait and loose feed.

Just looking at this photos shows what a

great winters day it was.

 I tried 3 different swims.

In two, there was no interest in the baits

at all.

 In the third I had some

knocks before the upstream

rod pulled round.

This produced the rig being snagged 

and a lost rig.

The second pull again on the up stream rod,

whilst I was talking to my brother on the phone,

was a good strong take

which was probably a 

Chub.

Unfortunately the hook knot gave and the fish 

was lost.

Well as it was now nearly

2pm I had to pack up.

I fished  7.30 till 2pm.

Note to self check out the knots 

properly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
