Well I have only about three targets fish wise before I clog it. Most realistic.
One of those is a 3lb Grayling. On the Frome today and it was fairly quiet although conditions looked good.
After an hour I had managed a couple of fish to about one and a half. Then the strike met some solid resistance on the strike and I knew it was a good fish.
Slowly slowly up the inside it ran. Then out into the main flow giving me the shakes until I edged it into net.
I didn't think it was and I was right, but a beautiful fish at 2.13 equaling my pb.
Quiet for a time and lots of swims tried for a couple of 1lb+ fish. Then...... A really big fish twisting and turning in the vortex downstream, edged inside, a jump....and it was gone. Fishcakes or similar screamed one demented angler!!!!
Back towards the start of the beat....another half mile snd immediatly into another cracker. Into the net! Yes yes.
Exactly 3lb ...but the plastic bag weighed an ounce...so really 2.15. Still happy, no estatic. What a fish!
A couple more fosh lost both around 2lb I reckoned.
Now in the pub in Wareham celebrating.
I cant use photobucket just virus earnings, but if anyone is prepared to add the pics I would like to share my fortune.
Graham, if you wish, you can email them to me, I'll send my email by PM.
