...this weekend. Well, Sunday really innit.
My local river Colne looked in fine fettle this morning. I walked to my fave pegs while my car was in for MOT. Dace were topping and I spotted a big chub wafting on a gravel bar. The flow and colour are sock on and my club have built some tidy platforms on some previously precarious pegs.
Can't wait to get the stick floats down those deeper gullies.
Anyone else out this weekend?

Long Meadow - At this time of year I'd target the tench and bream as the chub are still hanging about readying themselves for spawning.

Yep mark me down for Sunday, goes without saying it's going to be the river and most likely the Trent but not sure where yet... might get lucky and have a bash on the local lake early on Saturday too :)

It will be a couple of hours, very early, on the Sunday morning for me.

I'd like to know who in their right mind made Father's Day clash with opening day!

I was planning to do the Severn on the 16th but having popped down to have a look at it last week, will give it a miss as it's very low and clear :(

The Teme looked a lot fresher so will be on the bank at either Cotheridge or Bransford.

For quite a few years I used to do the P4A "bit" with a rocket and a glass of champagne for me and a spalsh for the venue too

Then I'd get my head down for a few hours to be ready for the crack of dawn to start fishing; I must give that another try one of these coming years . . . . . . .

Off to the Dearne for my first ever session on there. No expectations, I`ll be happy as long as I catch something, although a decent chub would be nice.

I'll probably pop out tomorrow, without a rod, to see if anyone is fishing "my" swims.

A couple of hours early on the Stour for a few bites and before the rain. No fireworks - it is illegal to set them off at midnight!
