Hi peeps just thought i would report my experience on the Trent this morning.The guy holding the swan is my mate Joe as you can see it has a two ounce lead hanging from its chops which was held in by a size 6 hook with a braided hooklength.The swan was one of a pair and it was on borrowed time as it could not open its mouth wide enough to eat much,it took Joe half an hour and a kilo of my g/bait before we got her close enough to grab hold of anyhow once the hook was out she had the rest of it,and my sarnies,and a sausage, just shows anglers can be the good guys as well(RSPB take note).
