Yep all seems OK since my 6 minutes of "death" [cardiac arrest] possibly caused by hyperthermia fishing a drafty section of unfished mid Thames .
St Peter decided as there wasn't any good chub fishing he sent me back.
Mike
there's more chub to be caught this coming season and St. Peter has plenty supply of his tiny drennan hooks
Sounds like you were fishing on one of the privatised AITS being mid Thames,
yes I know only to well how parts of the Thames can be like a wind tunnel as I used to regularly fish the tidal Thames at Barnes around low water and wading right out to nearly what appeared to be mid river
trotting for the quality roach and dace that once used to thrive in the river along those parts but sadly those days are long gone, there's still a few roach about but the vast dace shouls are very thin on the ground now
I used to be in the chub study group for a while and have specialised in fishing the Lea valley for 28 years for its huge chub, have you ever fished the Lea
See you at the show on Saturday Mike........and talk more about huge chub
Best fishes
