Escaped for a couple of hours in the afternoon of New Year  Day.

The stream was high and murky and the swim l chose was the best of a bad lot . It was a bit snaggy but at least it offered a little slack water under the rod tip. So l plopped out a lob-worm on a short trace below a running bullet 

and to my surprise l caught a roach ,a perch and a rather fine eel . All on the same worm  and very welcome .

I'm just a bit worried that by catching three fish on New Year's Day l might've  used up my quota for the next twelve months .

         ️Have a Good New Year.️

The View From My Swim Today consisted of my good friend standing on the opposite bank wondering just what had taken his  trotted maggots on a size 14 to 4lb line and centre-pin reel

This  view remained unchanged for half an hour as the fish did what it liked .

During this time l made it across a bridge ,  negotiated  floodwater and a bit of a  bog to see if l could lend a hand. Or at very least get a glimpse of the beast before it came off.

When l did catch sight of it l simply announced that it was huge without mentioning the species . If he knew what he'd  latched onto and it came off my friend would've been inconsolable.

Though as netsman   l was under a bit of pressure myself . Perish the thought of what might've been If l had hashed the landing. I snapped this as the fish was being returned and it doesn't do it justice.

I took better photos on his phone. 

Maybe this little chap brought us luck.
