8.30 till early finish! (2.30)
Today Ellis, Rob and I went to Broken scar to fish for Grayling. We must have caught 70 between the three of us, a few trout and many minnows! It really was a great days fishing.
The end.
That's the fishing in a nut shell, but what was great to see was the number of other anglers!
Not only were some of them from Ellis's FB group, that we all met on called Big Elbow, after his boat, but there were new people and blog readers too!!
It was such a great sight to look down the river and see 6 or 8 anglers all fishing, it looked like a match of old. From what I can make out, everyone was catching fish, so something was working.
We started in our usual spots, and I had 6 Grayling before 9am, they really were on the feed. We gradually worked our way down stream to the deeper sections. Here all 3 of us continued to catch, until the moon changed, well a dog called lunar who liked my swim for er.... swimming!! I did not catch anything after this, so went to warm my feet.
This swim soon turned into a stone throwing area, and a polite comment from Ellis had the culprits on their way!
We were able to wade further than before as the river was a long way down from our previous trip. We waded across to an island of very white water, where Ellis promptly poached all the Grayling from my swim!
Moving further along, as is always the custom now, we were looking for new swims, new targets. This trip we definitely found some chub swims for other days.
As we walked back and chatted with the other anglers, it was apparent fish were being caught. Ellis and I going to a spot up close to the boulders and catching 6 fish and loosing many more each in a quick fire 20 mins.
It was soon time to leave, a double weekend of fishing leaving smiles on our now very wind swept faces!
I have fished many river sections and not seen anyone all day. Today there may have been a dozen of us fishing, was hard to tell as we leap frogged up and down the swims. Thanks Broken Scar, your un organised, improtu match certainly made for a great day!
