5am until 12pm
From running water back to stillwater. Today, I went back to Ryton to fish Tilcon. After 2 days trudging through fields of cows and down uneven banks, today was 10 steps from the car to my swim. Perfect!
Armed with Robin red in 6mm and 12mm and worms, I was hoping for Bream and Tench.
I was going to pick up Rupert and Martha at 12.30 so an early start was in order. Setting off by 4.20am, I was starting to get accustomed to these early mornings. Arriving a little before 5am, both rods were tackled and cast in by 5 minutes past. I had a few worms ledgered on a maggot clip on my left hand rod and pellet on righty.
It is now 8.45am and I am typing this on the bank. That's how much rest I am getting. Plenty of fish showing on the surface and a few knocks on the worm, but other than that it's very quiet. I'd better get back to resting with these rods!
Sadly, lefty and righty yielded no fish today. I am now at home and going for a walk along the Tyne with the kids. Fishing does allow you alot of time to think. You will be pleased to know that today I thought about doing some videos for the blog. I will still be writing, as I really enjoy that, but don't be scared if you see some pictures in it that move!
Speaking of movement, the rods didn't do alot of that this morning. But to be honest, nor did I. The day of rest was very welcome, but maybe too much rest!
Sounds like you rather enjoyed that blank
