Wet & Wild!

Posted 21-06-2010 at 12:20 PM by Fluffchuker

After two or three day’s rain plus a torrential downpour mid afternoon on Sunday 13th; I drove to the river worrying that my recent requests for more water had backfired. It turned out my worries were misplaced! Whilst, the river had risen by two or three inches, it remained crystal clear and after consulting a few photographs from last year, my estimate is that it is still three or four inches below normal summer level. Proof indeed of just how dry the spring has been.

It was...

Swirls, Orgies and Funny Looking Trout!

Posted 07-06-2010 at 07:00 PM by Fluffchuker

It’s now over a month since my last post. The delay in posting has been due to a combination of to much work and a severe lack of anything interesting to write!! Ten posts into my blog and I’m already suffering the indignation of not having anything interesting to write or even worse writing the same thing over and over again. I guess this is my first experience of writer’s block or should that be Blogger’s Nipple?!

Let Battle Commence!

Finally, spring has sprung and the fish appear to be on the move! A mild week and a warm weekend saw me driving to the river on Sunday evening with renewed optimism. The two previous outings had led to nothing more than a couple of ‘out of season’ ladies (or as their dorsal fins suggested, ladyboys), and half a dozen spotty tiddlers. On both occasions, there was absolutely no sign of their big brothers and sisters.

As I approached the river I knew this time was to be different!...

Snaring a Monster!

Posted 14-04-2010 at 10:37 PM by Fluffchuker

The season is now officially underway with the capture of the first Brown Trout of the season (plus one out of season Grayling.....whoops!!)

OK, so the trout weren't the hard fighting leviathans that I've been daydreaming about for the past six months; however, they were most definitely trout.

Water levels had dropped to what I consider normal, with the sunshine, gravel and crystal clear water combining to give a gentle flow of Yorkshire's best triple distilled single...

Alright, so lets get the ineveitable out of the way..... I blanked! First trip of the season ('the Good') and I blanked ('the Bad')!!

So after a brief consultation with my ever faithful list of excuses, I can confirm that the river was still slightly flooded and (as can be seen from the first picture with my waterproof camera) was carrying a touch too much colour....
