Not sure about the "saving computer data" stuff, but I am certainly saving a few blogs!
I arrived and walked to the area I wanted to fish. There was another angler in a nearby peg so I asked him if it was OK if I fished upstream of him. He said yes, so I started.
Link ledger meat for an hour produced nothing. Not wanting to roll meat out of my swim and disrupt the other angler, I moved off down stream.
I played around in a few new areas, not really settling and only got snagged lots and got a wet foot! I had the waders but was carrying them by now.
A warm wind soon turned into dark skies and water started falling, I think its called rain. Its been a while!
Still feeling discombobulated I went back to where I started. The angler was just leaving and he offered me the swim. I said thanks and we chatted as he packed up.
Not wanting to wade anymore I decided to sit on the bank and ledger paste wrapped pellet in the flow on the far side. It's where the barbel live!!
I ended with six of these, I think dace.
The second one was big and I would of weighed it had it not jumped off my hand when I unhooked it. They would be amazing to catch on the float trotting, but on the barbel rod they were just reeled in.
I was glad of the blank savers and the kindness of the other angler. I enjoyed my day, but the quest goes on!!
