Down the Bristol Frome. 27-02-15

A couple of hours free

found me down the Bristol Frome

at 10.00.

With my trotting rod and Maggots in hand

was not to hopeful I would catch.

The river was down by about 12 -14 inches,

but very brown.

There was a good trotting pace

and up stream wind.

Well feeding my chosen swims as I walked up river,

I started in an area that usually produces lots

of Minnows and other bigger fish.

Twenty minutes later

I moved down stream

to a spot wit an over hanging tree.

This swim also had a total lack

of bites.

Four more swims later

and still no bites,

I packed up at 12.30,

as I had to be back home.

Not a single bite or sucked Maggot,

and 15 hook lengths lost.

I tried in the flow down the crease

and in the slacks,

to no avail.

Never mind better luck next time.

The rivers will be out sorts

next week so if all's good at home,

it will be sea fishing or a muddy puddle.
