Mead Farm and Lacock 22-09-20.

Earlier start and a longer walk

found me in a new swim.

Whilst putting in some loose feed hemp and sweetcorn,

I saw a number of Chub from under a pound to about

4lb enjoy a free meal.

I set up my kit and then had a walk

further down stream to see if there were

any more swims.

On returning to my swim

I noticed one of the Chub

had 2 golf ball size wounds on it's back.

It was swimming ok but it headed down stream

not interested in any more.

I managed to catch this 2lb 3oz Chub

which took less than a minute pick up the bait

but that was it no more interest.

I took spice flavored Spam.

I then moved on to another new swim,

this one has a drop of over 12 feet.

Lockley I have a net handle that can reach

15 feet.

Again on heading down stream earlier

I put in some free bait and saw some larger Chub.

However once again no interest 

was shown in the hook bait.

I now realized that the clear sky's

and bright sunshine was putting the

fish off feeding.

A further two swims had the same

result.

Absolutely no interest at all.

Even with full cloud cover.

By now it was late afternoon so

I moved on to my chosen last swim.

However there was already another angler in it.

So on to another swim I like to try

but once again already taken.

Third time lucky?

Yes!

Set up and well same again,

absolutely no sign of bigger fish.

I spoke to two other anglers

and they had the same result.

So by 7.30pm I

packed up and headed home.
