A challenging angling session
It was a very warm and pleasant afternoon and with the sun shining and a bright sky, hardly what you would call good fishing weather.
However, I fancied fishing a small pond that I had in mind and so that’s where I went.
There were lots of overhanging trees and lilies, so a couple of positives there.
The other side of the coin is that it’s extremely shallow and the water is very clear meaning I could see the bottom.
Plus, with it being a lovely day, there was a constant disturbance from people passing by, sometimes extreme.
Nothing like a challenge though, is there?
I fished two white maggots on a size 14 hook underneath a 0.8g waggler, tricking in a few maggots every now and then, especially on the occasions that I saw fish.
I was very pleased with how it went, catching perch and a solitary roach.
It just goes to show, no matter how difficult it may appear, as long as your bait’s in the water you’ve always got a chance.
