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.
ReplyDeleteIs why we usually have a selection of baits. Crazy how some don't work on the day!
