Another night time chub session

With snow melt in the river (albeit fining down) my initial thoughts were "not much chance here". To better the odds, I decided to fish at night, 7pm to 10pm, with smelly baits. The swim produced my 5lb chub the previous week so I was still confident of catching. 

Not being shy, I fished a 1.75lb Avon with 12lb line (no point in fishing light when it's dark and id rather bully them on past unforeseen snags). After a couple of casts without success, I was just about to rebait with I got a twitch on the rod, I call it the 10 second warning signal. You can almost guarantee a chub will tap the rod round shortly after, and it did, a pleasing 3lb 6oz

Two casts later, and within seconds of the feeder hitting the deck, the rod twitch a few times. Clearly a chub knocking bait out the feeder and it was a short wait for the next rap round, this time at 3lb 8oz.

This was very quickly followed by a chub of 3lb 1oz....

No more fish followed, but I was happy with that. A mouse spent the evening by my side each the grass! 

Happy days
