I threw a small number of loose maggots out several times but I didn’t even get a tap.
At least I was able to feed a couple of robins who appeared alongside me.
When the temperature is sub-zero, even a few maggots can make the difference between life and death.
Not to be deterred, I was back out again today for another short session.
This time I was on a stream where I have caught well in the past.
