Kevin,
The wind rustling those feathers was the only action Isaw until light relief came from the upside down brolly and floating mobile phone incident.
Yesterday I had a session from 5pm till 9pm at my local 12 acre resevoir yesterday. Had 7 bream aroung the 4lb mark, 2 small roach and had two fish throw the hook at the net. The penalty for fishing in a way where I had to strike I suppose instead of using self hooking rigs. It did restore my faith though, it seems that I can catch fish sometimes.
Perhaps next year something may jump into my keepnet at Clatterbrook, or perhaps not. I propose next year to fish normal methods. Bugger bagging wagglers and fancy baits I shall stick to red worms tipped with caster. No silly thin ends stuck on the end of the rod.
I shall stick to sensitive fingers (OK, that lays me wide open) but it has worked for the nearly 60 years I have fished. If I want an easy day I will stick to good old maggots and a waggler close in and feed, feed, fedd for the whole match.
