On The Sedge

It was the last day of my extended Bank Holiday I had an extra day, When Melanie said why don’t you have a few hours to round the break off I could not turn it down. A quick dash to the Ribble was what a decided on while in the car park putting on the waders a sedge landed, interesting ….. I got to the river and was met with a large hatch. More importantly fish were switched on and a good rise was taking place . I put on my closest imitation which on the water looked pretty good and made my way down stream to the furthest fish . My thoughts were on not spooking them I crawled down the bank and got within an easy cast of the first fish . My first cast brought a confident take ….wish I Could say the same of the hook up 1-0 to the fish .The next did the same and so on I even checked the hook thinking it must be broke . Finally I hit one a nice fish 12in . It was stuffed with Sedge . I carried on much the same tempted enough fish to keep me happy but missed more than for a very long time. Finally my ineptitude put the heads down and the chance was gone. I made my way down stream but the rivers low clear condition made the fishing hard. Time for a few snaps with the camera. A lovely Primrose was first when I got home I read a little about them……..The primrose has many uses – beautiful and glorious they are to look at, but did you know that the leaves can be used as a salve for wounds, or that the petals can be used to make wine! Turning over a few stones always brings out something of interest look like mini monsters . I found a fast crease and after a few plucks on the wet I finally got a little Parr . I enjoyed the evening but again my fishing wasn’t the best if I had hit half of the fish I could have had half a dozen at least it ended around 14-2 to the fish tonight but I can live with it.
