Well done Duncan, nice tench

Thank you for a lovely morning. 16th of June as it should be spent in pursuit of Tinca tinca...




Your rod and reel make the perfect combination.



Prized more highly than rubies...

(I made it to MK in time)

I wind about, and in and out,
With here a blossom sailing,
And here and there a lusty trout,
And here and there a grayling,

And here and there a foamy flake
Upon me, as I travel
With many a silvery waterbreak
Above the golden gravel,

And draw them all along, and flow
To join the brimming river,
For men may come and men may go,
But I go on for ever.

That should read "streamy section"! Can't wait to see the pic of your cracker Tee - chub?

Arrived at the river and she was low but I have fished her for a long time and always seem to catch. Went to a spot which I new would have a good strong flow and put 12 bait droppers of Maggots down.

First fish was a nice Chub had 3 all over 3lb .

Next up was Barbel I would say it was over 7lb fantastic condition


Lovely to return the fish ,swam away so strong

My mates turned up and I was happy to let them run down the swim and both take PB's

This one was a good one but later the one below .....

Phil smashed his with a 10lb5oz he was well chuffed .

We Anglers are truly blessed at times. What joy we are all having.
