Lacock Abbey 01-07-18

An early start found me on the bank

at 04.45.

I had put my pellet mix and chopped boillie 

mix in to 6 swims as I passed the ones 

I intended fishing.

The first two swims produced 

nothing bar a few line bites.

I was distracted by a herd of young cattle

which were rather energetic.

So I moved to a different field.

Here I had a lot of line bites and plucks.

A pair of Swans and 4 Sygnets

 passed gently by and started feeding 

over one of the baits.

This must have calmed the fish down,

as   this 3lb 2 3/4oz Chub took the bait .

After that  the swim died.

 There were some very good looking swims

 which I will explore further next time.

 In one swim this young 

Kingfisher was waiting for its parent to feed 

it.

 In my last swim I again had a few 

plucks and knocks

which produced a 3/4lb Chub. 

Two fishermen then moved in down stream of my 

my swim which killed my swim. So at 11.45

I left for home 

having had a lovely morning fishing.
