It’s just on the way out of Great Harwood
-
Down on the Calder for a few hours with the stickfloat and centerpin before it shuts tomorrow . Had some chub and grayling plus a few out of season brownies . This is the best one , thought it might make 2lb so I weighed it but it went 1.14
-
Just been done in a snag so dropped to one rod . Had 2 doubles and 2 in the 6-8lb range . Got another 2 hours before we need to be off and it’s probably the last barbel session of the season
-
I’m down again now for the last time and was expecting it to be busy but nobody is near the swim . Just had 4 and lost one and 2 were doubles at 10.11 and 10.14
-
We finished with 14 barbel and 3 chub plus a few that came off in about 4-1/2 hours fishing
-
It’s going mental . Just after posting my mate had a double and another straight away on the recast and I’ve just had another about 6 . We’ve had 10 barbel and a chub so far
-
Down on the ribble again with a mate and it’s been brilliant . We’ve had 7 barbel and a chub so far in 2 hours including 2 double hook ups and a new pb of 11.14 for me and a 9.12 for my mate
-
It did look decent so I weighed it and couldn’t believe it was only 6.9 . I ended up with 3 decent chub and 5 barbel , the biggest was a new pb of 11,7
-
Come down to the ribble again and just had this barbel after about half an hour edit . Just had another
-
Couple of hours on the river tonight . Had 3 chub and missed a few
-
There’s no mistaking it now , he’s turned into a fair sized bird and I think the nicer of the 2 . The one with the white tail is still the dominant one but the one I wasn’t sure about has shot up and is slightly bigger . Seems to have paired with the hen in the nest box aswell and follows her everywhere, even stands in front of the nest box and waits while she’s laying
-
Bought a few traps a couple of weeks back but I’ve only made one box so far so only been using one . Had 7 so far from the side one of my chicken coops as they come out from underneath . The coops only been there just over 4 weeks so it shows how quickly they turn up

Just stumbled on this on YouTube. Didn’t know the Monday’s was a cover
-
Going to be cold on the fingers today Edit- it was grim , only managed 3 dace and a couple of missed bites and the eyes were constantly freezing up
-
I know , I could have done with them at the time though and he was fairly local so I tried more than I normally would .

I’ve given up trying to sell on Facebook. You get messages asking if it’s still available so you say yes and they never respond . Another one is if you’ve got something up for say £100 they’ll message you and say £20 cash and I’ll collect tonight , like they’re doing you a favour . I had one clown from Chorley message me within minutes of me putting a reel on saying he definitely wanted it so we did a deal and I arranged to meet him next morning at darwen services . He never showed up and wouldn’t answer any messages . Buying can be as bad on there though , I’ve responded to a fair few ads and

I’ve got a few silkie Sussex hybrids , light Sussex and cream legbars just for eating eggs and some rare breed houdans and Swedish flower hens for hatching eggs and chicks and now the old English game bantams .
-
They are , I tried to get him to part with another dark hen to make a trio up but he wouldn’t go for it . I want a break from building runs and pens for a few weeks then I’ll knock some more up and get some Pyle and ginger and maybe some black red - partridge if I can find some
-
Managed to get these today on my way back from picking some more Swedish flower hens from maryport . Got them from a bloke in Penrith . That will do me now till I can get some more pens built for some other colours
-
Thanks , they don’t seem as easy to get hold of as I thought . I messaged a bloke on one of the Facebook groups that said he’d have plenty this month and heard nothing back and rang someone off preloved advertising a few different colours but he only had a mixed colour pair
-
Thanks for the offer but it’s bantams he wants
-
My brothers after a trio of oeg bantams if anyone’s got any for sale . Red Pyle preferably but black red - ginger or Furness is ok . Anywhere in Lancashire- Cheshire- Cumbria and West Yorkshire
-
No , they went a while back . I forgot to update the post
-
Loads of cabbage whites and a fair few red admirals aswell on my pen . Plenty of bees and millions of annoying wasps too

Roughly 5 miles
