Continuing in the fishing groove and tinkering to catch a tinca

As the warm spell continues, so does my early morning tench fishing.

There’s a difference between a groove and a rut and it’s definitely a case of the former as far as I’m concerned.

It’s a familiar pattern of late, from waking to casting out, and it’s a well-worn path I’m treading each morning.

However, there’s no feeling of repetition behind it as far as I’m concerned.
