More jungle fishing, with chub and roach from a brook

I fished with a no-name 4.5 feet rod and a Shimano DL 2500FA reel loaded with 4lb Maxima Chameleon.

The hook length of five inches was created by nipping a size 8 shot on the line below a 3mm bead. 

The lead was 1/8th of an ounce, replaced by an AAA shot, and the hook was a Drennan Super Specialist size 18.

I fished with a single white maggot and loose fed maggots at the head of the swim. 

I cast towards the branches of a tree that were overhanging the water and allowed the bait to settle naturally in the flow.

  1. Thanks goodness you have posted some fishing at last instead of that Welsh football Stewart… 😀
    I joined the 60 club last Saturday, July 9th and had 9 fish on the lure that morning. 1 roach, 2 perch and 6 rudd. It’s taken me some months to learn the lure jigging method but I’m loving it.
    Try the AGM website for the tips 1″ worms- you can just get a 0.4g jig head in them and they seem to attract most fish. Keep up the good work.

    1. I did see plenty of fish topping on the River Lagan though when I went for my morning jog.
      For four days, that was the closest I came to fish!
      Penblwyd hapus!
      Nice way to get your sixties underway.
      Start as you mean to carry on!
      I’ve been using AGM for a while now, really good stuff.
      Tight lines.
