Same place, same time!


Well Rod left on Friday morning and I decided to have another night's fishing as the river was falling and clearing after a very wet 24 hours. Well it paid off! In the same pool and at about the same time I hooked a lovely 7 lb sewin. It was a hen fish and as fit as a butchers dog! Amazingly the river was desolate - not a single angler in sight! I gave up at 3pm as the thunderstorms began to fester. It was warm - in fact it was so hot to the extent that I walked the 2 1/2 miles back to the caravan in just a teeshirt! Before I started fishing mind you I spotted a monster fish heading and tailing in the fast water - it looked huge from quite a distance so I think it's fair to say that there are some big fish about!

Rod gets lucky with bar of silver!

Tuesday night Rod hit a cracking sewin at 11.20 pm! At 10 lb + it was to many a fish of a life time but to Rod it was just another nights fishing!!! Actually he caught it in a rare moment when he wasn't asleep!
