With the first frost of the year I had to visit the Gt Ouse. A very eerie presence and wonderful time to be on the bank. To begin with I caught several small chub. An overhanging tree was my next target, placing my bait right under it on the nearside, bouncing the bait a foot away from the bank, soon a couple of gentle plucks were felt and a solid resistance was met on the strike.

What a great write up, the pictures of the venue, the method, the swim and the fish are superb!

Re: Magical misty morning
Well done Vito, you certainly catch some lovely chub in the rivers you fish.

Re: Magical misty morning
Lovely fish. Mornings like that used to drag me to the river like a magnet but, at the moment, I seem more content to sit in the warm. Note to self, get motivated.

Haha, I like to start early when chub fishing, but I've always been an early bird.
