We haven’t had an overnight frost for some time now. However, that’s what I encountered as I looked through the window first thing.
Although I knew it was going to be cold (checking the weather forecast is part of my daily routine), nevertheless it wasn’t meant to be icy.
No problem, though, I just scraped before setting off. Plus, I took a photograph.
Bore da. Mae’n oer heddiw. That’s Welsh for good morning, it’s cold today.

I only had a short time on a very local pool but I just knew it was going to be tough.
Sadly, I was proved right.
It was my first blank in a while though.
I was lure fishing, by the way, with a 2” minnow on a 0.7g jig head.
As you can see from the lead image, with minimal tackle required it’s a great way of fishing when time is tight.
Even the rod is made-up, making it even better.
Following the session, it was back home and then off to work for a game at Park Hall.
