Horrible NE wind today but me and son of meldrew were out at Berkhamstead again on the GUC. Bright sunshine in the face and a chilly breeze, we fished poles and light rigs. Unlike 2 weeks ago on our last foray conditions had changed considerably. Som caught 3 roach on the trot during the the first of our 3 hour match. I was blanking on worm section on the 9m line. Got out another section and cupped chop @11m and the sun came out...
I had the reflection in the face for at least 25mins.
Ate my sarnies and then it clouded over. The water at 11m became dark and with a yellow tip float dotted down, I was off with roach, perch and one gudgeon. Red maggot seemed to be what they wanted after trying worm section, bread punch and single caster..
At the weigh in it looked close, som had it with 1:8.
I had 1:4.
Weekend looks slightly better weatherwise. An interclub match on the GUC @Tring on Sunday for us.
Anyone else fishing this weekend?
