The worm, the maggot and the sweetcorn.

Took the pole down to the

Bristol Frome

this morning for a short explore

of a swim I've not fished for a

good few years.

Fortunately there were no snags in it,

so  no tackle was lost.

Starting just after 6.30 am,

I fed a small pouch of hemp

and 4 - 5 maggots every few minutes

over a small bed of ground bait.

I caught a minnow on

double red maggot on a size 14 hook

first put in.

Then a small 6" Trout

took a white and red maggot.

A few more Minnows decided

they were hungry before 

I caught a nice Dace.

The Minnows even took a whole
worm with a grain of sweetcorn
and a Maggot cocktail on a size 16 hook.

This is how it continued

till 10.00.

So I guess I ended up with

a couple of pound,

which is not quite what I expected.

One good thing is that a swim

which didn't have any fish in it last year

now has a small head of Chub,

so I will take my Centre Pin 

down for a bit gentle trotting.

But that will have to wait for next week

as no free time till then.
