Snow fishing

Posted on January 10, 2010 - Filed Under Fish, Fishing, Fishing Diary

The Christmas break normally affords me at least one trip fishing. This years cold snap has mannaged to leave me without so much as a sniff of the river. On a plus the kids have had a good time and I settled down to joining them, with some fun in the best snow since I was a kid myself. Today though at last gave me a chance of a little sport. I had rang Mike who has had a few nice fish from his trip to warmer waters(fishing fiend linked on here). After getting told from his other half that we were not to go Mike made arrangements to meet up for a couple of hours. It’s been ages since our last trip and felt longer. I gave Phil a ring, he’s moved house so it was no problem to pick him up . I dont know if Mel will be so happy come the warmer weather? With one of my mates just down the road, I can see us nipping off for a quick cast. The day was crisp and cold, the water had a tinge of colour from the slight thaw. It was the melting snow entering the brook that had me worried as to our chances and I watched Mike slave away for a hour or so before I finally set the rod up. Even the Herons looked like they needed a fish or two. Mike was keen as ever, I never thought I would meet anyone who was addicted to fishing but he comes close. He’s not on his own though by this time Pete had walked down so the four of us in a foot or so of snow stood Mike fishing and even worse us watching “must be mad!!” Mike wanted to walk the extra half mile or so to the next fish holding area, I said we should head back thankfully Phil agreed . The area I fancied always seams to produce a nice Roach and so it turned out. I set up and after a while the float dipped and I lifted into a nice Roach. Mike got a quick photo and then a couple of casts later I hooked the fish above a little smaller but perfect. The first fish of the New Year and very welcome.
