Enoka gets the baiting done...
March 1st... here we go. A last barbel to top off the winter quest of a barbel every winter month.
Yesterday, I baited around 3.00pm, and the river looked in superb order. No point in casting in, as it was the last day of February, but I drooled. Then the rain rolled in, from the West, from the Welsh mountains where the damage upriver would have begun.
This morning, even as I write at 10.00am, the gauges on the internet seem to be holding relatively steady. There is a slight rise from Hay downriver, but I have hope when I get bankside in four hours or so, I’ll still find swims fishable.
Can I knock off that March barbel first day of the month? It would be good. I’d be out of there then, and could leave the swims to the others... my mates who travel from afar, and could do with a barbel more than I do...
Time today will tell...
