Fished the weir near me on the stick this morning as planned after a session on Worm yesterday evening when small fish kept smashing the bait. Fished from 6 till 12 when the showers started and I think if I’d fished a couple more hours I would have made my target weight of 10lb of Silvers from a river.
Fished 3 maggots on a size 16 hook on a 5no4 stick float just on the inside crease next to the weir.
Ended up with a nice mixed bag of Chublets, Roach, Dace, and one Perch for 8lb4oz.
Lost one bigger fish, probably a big Perch to a snag, and got snagged then bitten off by a Pike. So none of the bigger Chub showed but all in all a good day, and I’m glad I now have that kind of fishing on my doorstep as I’ve said before, there weren’t that many small silvers in this pool last year.
