back from the annual fenland
flyer and bugger me it was rock hard after spending most of the day searching for fish we eventually just after lunch landed on them right place at the right time we walked down a path to be
greeted by
hundreds of roach exploding out of the water now take a look at the picture below and try to guess where to find the bait fish daunting on a venue like this , so we had a stroke of luck there as the morning was a waste of time despite many
different tactics , lines , flies you name it we tried it and it
wasn't only us 18 other fly fishers were going through the same thing
under the willow tree there was roach exploding a hunting predator was around i had to cast the fly tight under the tree
no matter what i tried i
couldn't get the
damn things to attack the
flys i tried and i got right under the bloody tree as well in amongst the
baitfish believe me i tried the lot
ahh well at least i got to look at loads of flies in action over the day
so the final result for the day was between 20 fly anglers there was a total of 6 pike caught the biggest being around 4 pounds , and most of the guys fishing are some of the finest pike fly anglers in the country
what went wrong well probably the weather to be honest i mean it was
November and i was out in my t.shirt for gods sake i should have been
DE icing my rod rings the fish
wouldn't have been thinking about feeding up for a hard winter .....
maybe it was that
maybe they were thinking something else who knows but
that's why its called fishing and not catching ,
I'm not to worried ill be out again next week chasing em
tight lines
