17th of December
Been fishing, captions to follow….
Outside temperature today was a giddy 6 deg celcius. It has kyboshed the skiing so it’s back to the river where it is pleasantly mild, windless and dull.Ideal winter grayling conditions…
Early Xmas present to self was a new reel… a centerpin which is very tricksy to use, tangles and utter birdnests are never far away…
But the angling Gods are smiling on me for the first time after a few blanks and disasters….
Jimski Malcovich hooking a very silver 4lb out of season sea trout that was put straight back…
As was this pretty brown trout… and no grayling… they shoal up at this time of year and I never found them! maybe next time.
