Faith

You can read a more detailed account of Sundays outing on Phils blog …………….. http://flyandclassiccoarse.blogspot.com/ My summary goes a little like this. I visited this part of the river over our very cold winter period. I only had a few fish but the ones I did get seemed to be of a better stamp than lower down. I put this down in the end to the very cold weather, although I had concerns about the amount of predatory birds. I now still have the concerns. While the odd big Grayling can be found, fish of under a pound are sadly scarce. A complete absence of Dace in water that should hold them in high numbers and no small Chub either is a worry. We fished the first pool, I have had a couple of fish one of which pushed 2lb. Also I have lost a couple of good fish. I had told Phil this and I think he wanted to get a good Grayling. Although we had a few Trout we struggled a little. I had spotted a good ripply glide in winter, which had a barbed wire fence in the middle of it making it un fish-able. So I took Phil and it looked spot on……… after one trout, I think he was loosing faith in the water I had targeted, but he stuck with it and reaped the rewards with a 1lb12oz fish. I managed a few Trout and also got Chub taking Crust although I somehow managed not to hook one. I will give this area another try but I’m a little worried. A family of Goosander as we left only added to my concern.

The list

The list, we have a little list going of the fish we can catch this year it’s a sort of laugh tinged with “micky taking” You get a new species it’s just dropped into conversation!! My chances would seem limited as I mostly fish rivers. This still brings me a few fish though and a couple of the harder ones. The hardest was my lucky Salmon!! So the running waters brought me Salmon Sea Trout Brown Trout Grayling Roach Chub Dace Barbel Minnow Stone Loach Bull Head While my few visits to the still waters Brought me ……… Perch Gudgeon Bream Tench Crucian Rudd. So I needed to make the most of yesterdays visit with my Dad to Beacon view a stocked still water. I added Ide and also caught a golden orfe the ornamental variety of the same fish. The king carp sorted with Mirror and Common again just one on the list. Also a Brown Goldfish so another three. It may get hard now as the remaining species I don’t really fish for. So for the moment I will bask in the the fact I have caught 20 species of fish.
