Hi there CA -I managed half a day on the Stour, lovely conditions as you said but I could only get a few small Chub, I really should have done better. I did spend a couple of days after Perch and had a few, best 2.5 , not massive but very welcome all the same. Saw your mention about trying Domaine des IIes, it is not too far and I am also interested in having a go so perhaps we can arrange something at the same time. The problem is December for me. Are you tied to certain dates ?
