Date:.. Saturday 08/12/12
Venue:... River Ribble
Time fished:...15:30hrs 21:00hrs
Weather conditions:... Heavy drizzle, gusty winds at times, very dark no moon.
Water conditions:... EA River level at 04:300hrs @ NJR 0.75M & falling
Air temperature:... 6.3C throughout session.
Water Temperature:... 4.3C
Bait:... Bread Flake, Crust/Cheese Paste, Halibut Pellet/Cheese Paste
Method:.. 2 rods. Upstream rod - bread flake with liquidized bread and sweetcorn in feeder. Downstream rod – Halibut Pellet/Cheese Paste, Crust/Cheese Paste with liquidized bread and sweetcorn in feeder.
Results:... Four Chub (3 around 3.5lb and 1 beauty at 5lb-3oz)
Brief description of the session & remarks:… This was getting a trip in while the weather was reasonable as apposed to fancying going fishing. The river looked good when I arrived. At dusk the drizzle got “really wet” making fishing uncomfortable. However, the Chub turned up (3 around 3.5lb and 1 beauty at 5lb-3oz), the first arrived at 15:40hrs and the last at 18:55hrs. By 21:00hrs I'd had enough even though there was probably another couple of Chub I it if I'd carried on until mid-night. The walk back to my van would have been miserable but for the 5lb plus Chub. Fortunately we have the room at home to dry out all my gear which to say that it didn't rain particularly hard, got extremely wet.
