Limpley Stoke 22-01-15

First trip of 2015.

Well, full of hope and expectation 

I scraped the frost of Fru Fru Fiesta,

at 06.00 and trundled to Limpley.

With day light just showing

through the broken cloud,

it was a chilly walk to my chosen swim.

Feeding the free baits of

maggot and caster down the

near bank

and 

Boillie and pellet down the crease a third 

of the way out.

The river looked good

a bit of colour and a good pace.

I thought I was in for some luck.

How wrong could I be.

Claverton Down

looking good.

This photo shows a Mink

in the undergrowth. It managed to catch

some small fish as did a Kingfisher.

Some of the goodies

ready for loose feeding

Well by Midday I

had a bad stomach ache.

Without a bite or sign of life

I had to pack up and head home.

This was the first time I

had fished on our wedding anniversary.

I was our 32.

Shame.

I think I will try the river Frome

next week.

Bit of trotting bread, maggot and casters.
