Soggy Limply Stoke. 07-10-14

In between some light showers

I was able to set up in some trees.

I had a fallen tree up stream,

an over hanging bush down stream

and a crease running from the end of

the upstream tree.

There was more flow than the last trips

 and a little

colour.

I was using the usual baits

and freebies.

There were no signs of any fish

but at least I was baiting that swim for future

sessions. 

One more thing that was obvious is

there were a few snags here.

Lets hope some flood water moves the snags away.

Any way with an other shower having passed

I decided to move to another spot.

When my down stream rod

pulled down then dropped back.

After a short but not very inspiring fight,

this 3lb 3oz Chub was in the net. 

 Little did I know that that would be all

the action for that day.

Apart from a few more showers.

Two more swims were tried,

 but nothing was playing the game.

So after 5 hours and three swims

and another big shower on its way,

I legged it to the car at 12 noon..

Just in time as it turned out

because a heavy hail storm started just as I

got in to the car.
