Date 5.8.12
Section River Ribble
Time: 1:30pm till 5:45pm
Weather conditions: warm and sunny
Water conditions : About 10 inches up and lots of colour. Risingf slightly
Bait - hemp, maggot and corn
Air temp - n/t
Water temp: n/t
Method: Float
Results: around 25 dace, 6 small chub and 4 roach
A quick float session which I cut short a little when it started lightening and the weather turned.
Slow again and just not enough action or bites. Fish came and went and the majority of the fish came in the last 2 hours when I switched to maggot from caster / corn.
No decent size fish either albeit it's never been much of a peg for larger chub to be honest, but they did used to be plentiful with odd barbel showing too.
This could be my last session for the month as I switch now to child duties and some time away with them. If I take the lads fishing over the holidays I won't be doing any myself as I'll be supervising I suspect!
