Had a great day on the creel today with the legend that is Paul James. This guy really could teach the eskimos a thing or two!! One even jumped into his landing net whilst he was sleeping. Had most of our fish on licorice flavoured boilies fishing at 45 wraps

Really miserable weather today with persistent rain all day as well as feeling a good few degrees cooler than recent weeks.
With the weather being as it was we decided to fish one of the very few swims that we felt we could access safely as climbing down a sheer muddy bank looked like a recipe for disaster in those conditions.
After a couple of hours of sitting in the rain and with no sign of a bite for either of us we decided that there were better things to be doing. We were right in this and spent a very pleasant afternoon in the pub instead.

We thought it was going to be hard going today but had a bit more success than imagined. The fish were all caught in the slower, coloured water which we only fished in the afternoon as we spent the morning trying to find them in the more oxygenated water.
A difficult beat, not many swims and one whole section not exclusive due to the camping site so we won't be back on this one.
