A short session on the river this morning. Tactics were a couple of pints of maggots (white), 3lb Drennan supplex to a size 20 Kamasan animal, hoping for a few chub, I was using the drennan floatmaster and an Abu 506 due to the wind.
After feeding for half an hour, my first cast resulted in a bit which I briefly hit, before it bouncing off. Next cast I latched onto this nice chub, which was great fun to play on the light gear. After a bit of patience, it came into the net, a nice looking fish.
Next cast I missed a bite, I was getting a good rhythm going and thinking I may build a decent bag up, when an otter turned up!

After that, I caught nothing else!
Warmer temps today, and it seems that spring is definitely just round the corner...
Had a similar session last night on the wear Jim..wind was a problem, managed a fish at 8 pm then what at first i thought was driftwood floating past me in the moonlight soon turned out to be an otter in the torchlight! Swim was dead after that.
ReplyDeleteI have known swims to be fine after an otter intrusion, but sometimes the fish dissapear, as today.
