Default Last day of the season - and a new British record...

Well.

Last day of the season and I took a trip up to the lengendary Bentley Brook.

I had the place to myself, the weather was good the stream gin clear, olives coming off and fish rising.

I set up. Crept up the bank. And cast. Well, well, well.

I caught a bloody clunker - I reckon enough for the record. Will post picture later.

That's it guy's the british record is gone!

Alex
