Can't complain with a chub like that. A good day's fishing. I wish we had some narrower rivers nearby that were nicely stocked with fish. I will try the Loddon soon though.
Good session, Mark. Just shows its not always about 40 lb bags of silvers every trip! That chub put the icing on the cake too. Very cheap session with no maggots or casters, that definitely appeals to me as a tight northerner 😂👍
As long as I catch enough to put a smile on my face it's good enough. I was pleased with the chub which was in fantastic condition. Total bait was less than a kilo of groundbait and two slices of bread.
Glad to see you catching fish, after all the recent high levels I haven’t been out, just shows what I have been missing! Where can day tickets be purchased for that stretch? Cheers.
Is that above rhe weit at fiddleford.was going there on Tuesday. Used to fish Meriden s nd would change depth as tide came up or down. It's a muscle memory.. Good watching as per.😊
@MarkWintleFishing no I had a feeling that it would be pushing after the rain again. Was going tomorrow but reckon this weather will bring it to a halt.
I fished down on Canford on the 22nd, lots of fish topping just above me (roach), I had three roach around 2 to 4oz, lost 1, on punch. Not enough action for a video!
That reel makes me smile can’t beat a Mitchell match

perfect pin swim that is
Indeed, though I find it hard work fishing deep swims with a pin.

Several clubs do day tickets on the Stour including Blandford AC and Sturminster & Hinton AA, plenty of water to fish available.
