Nothing big down Duchess Pond.

It was quite atmospheric on the

walk to Duchess this morning,

Again using my old float rod and Quiver tip,

I set up on the east bank this time.

Again I set up the Quiver tip with a cage feeder

 and size 14 .

I made 10 casts before hooking on sweet corn

and red maggot.

Then a Peacock 2 1/2BB float,

 again to a size 14 hook.

It was a very slow start with out

much interest.

Again I tried Sweetcorn, Red Maggot 

and Worm.

Started at 6am and it wasn't till

after 9am that the swims started 

coming alive.

In the end I managed about 5-6 pounds 

of Roach and Perch.

This photo shows the last 20 or so minutes

before I packed up at 11.00.

 A very pleasant mornings fishing,

with plenty of wild life to keep me

entertained.

I didn't take a keepnet so put these in

my landing net.
