Lacock again, 13-08-13

I know I said I wouldn't go there

till after the summer hols,

but I just had to have a float

fish again.

I did my usual system of

feeding as I walked up stream.

As it was cloudy I hoped to catch

a larger Chub or two.

In a few inaccessible swims

there were a couple of chub around

the 2lb mark.

However they appeared to be feeding off a 

hatch of small insects, as were the Dace and

small Chub.

I ended up with around 30lb of Chub, Roach, Dace and Gudgeon.

Nothing bigger than a 9oz Chub.

It was a very pleasant mornings fishing, I fished from 06.00 till

13.00. Maggot and Krill pellets were the main baits with

Luncheon meat and bread.

Hemp was loose fed with maggots every minute or so.  

One sad note was when my son told me

an eastern European man had taken 

a small Chub  from the Frome.

He was taken aback when

my son told him he put them back.

Surely its about time the 

Environment Agency should

get out and about and try to stop this happening.

I have not had my licence checked

for 8 years and 15 years on the Frome.

That day caught 5 people with out licences.
