NOT A BACKDOOR CLOSE SEASON DEBATE.
Been down the river and certainly seems likely that spawning will be taking place far earlier this season...... in-deed, taken place!
Inch long fry are prolific in the margins and the Chub have started shoaling up.. in fact this was already happening to a minor extent at the back end.
Its been a very mild Winter.... Anyone add to these observations?
I imagine, if the fish get a jolly on, fry will be that it bigger and cope with the anticipated floods we seem to be experiencing come winter time.
Can't really comment on still waters as I rarely inhabit them in the same way and therefor fail to keep in 'tune' with them....
All observations/thoughts welcome
