7am until 3pm
Ellis and I went to the Ouse today. We had a great, great session.
Two rods ledgered mid river or towards the tree lined far bank proving to be the tactic!
I will let you into a secret, the bait today that worked was worms! Many other pellets laid unmolested, but not the worms!!
I actually can't remember the sequence of what we caught when. But I know, I did catch a couple of bream then a barbel and Ellis caught his barbel whilst I had my third bream in the net!!

We have never both caught a barbel in the same session, plenty of chub but never barbel. We wondered if we could top the day off with a chub each from the Nidd. This proved a touch too far for our luck, so we headed back to Ellis's house for a celebratory beer!!
Nice session. Makes up for the Swale. Worm is an underrated bait often only used when the river is in flood. Something I'm guilty of.
