Brief description of the session & remarks: caught fish on all above methods- have seen some specimen chub and pike - a pair of good polaroids helps - when doing a recce along the banks - some lovely stretches of water - but not all seem to have many fish in them yet, probably a legacy of the past two hundred years of pollution.
