First day of the summer hols and my 7 year old wanted to go fishing. Dug out my old tat that’s almost 40 years old, dug out some worms from the compost and we went to the local stream. It’s filled from a huge lake at the nature reseve half a mile away. When it floods fish get washed out over the weir, down steam and get stranded in this pool (you can sort of make some out in the top right of the bottom pic). It’s full of huge carp that were sticking to the bank under the trees. We stayed clear of them as my kit would have just surrendered.
After an hour and a half we had a happy child having landed 10 fish including 2 perch, some roach, gudgeon and other assorted tiddlers.
I’ve ordered an NGT Travelmaster as it is so compact and can be snuck away also new line. She’s desperate to go back. I’ve never known her to be so still.
