Well, groundhog day it most certainly was because I had a second fish on of the same size.
Again, it was a case of goodbye fish but with slime on the line it pushed me towards tench.
That, at least, made me feel better.
I’d sooner lose a 2lb tinca than a roach or perch and that’s a fact.
I can’t stay away from tench though, which is just as well because I’ll be pursuing them again next session.
Fishing and a change is as good as a rest
