A fine brace
Posted: Sat Mar 30, 2019 3:25 pm
Spent a very pleasant few hours the other day near to Daventry float fishing worm and casters tight to the far bank trees.
As is usual for the canals around here I was the only angler in sight with just the boats, dog walkers and a lone canoeist for company.
I caught a few Bream up to around the 2lb mark and then this chap turned up!
A new personal best for me at 3lb 4 oz.
finally beating my previous best of 2lb 14oz It’s a shame they lose their colouring in the muddy canal water but still a fine fish.
It was soon followed by another of 2lb 4oz making a very memorable brace.
I finished the day with eight Perch eight Bream and seven Roach with all but one needing the landing net.
Definitely worth a return visit!
