Section of Fishery or river stretch:…River Ribble above Preston
Date:…12/08/10
Time fished:…17:00hrs to 21:00 hrs
Weather conditions:…uummm Thunderstorms, torrential rain, then a nice evening.
Water conditions:… There was a little bit more water in the river and it was rising.
Air temperature:…N/T. Water Temperature:…N/T
Bait:...Hemp and Caster and Sweetcorn.
Method:.. Waggler.
Results:… 15 to 20 dace, a handful of small chub and odd roach, best one 1.25lb and a near record gudgeon.
Brief description of the session & remarks:… The river was busy, so my swim choice was limited to slow, deep pegs. Started off quite well with a good few dace and odd roach, but as the river started to come up it went really patchy with just odd short spells of activity.
I suspect the water temp dropped as it rose, as the river became cold to stand in, for the first time this year.
By 9pm the water had made it’s way over my platform, so it was the prompt I needed to give up!
It also seemed very quite on the feeder with the 4 anglers I was in ear shot of.
