🎣 Fishing with The Curse 

I’m off on my football travels later today but, before then, there was time to do some fishing.

It was very autumnal first thing, with dense mist hanging over the lake.

Joined by my friend, Ian Clarke, otherwise known as The Curse, you can follow the session via the video.

Ian won as far as quality over quantity wascconcerned, but at least I did catch on this occasion.

Tackle: Fox Barbel Special 1.5 test curve rod and an Okuma Zeon reel. 6lb Maxima Chameleon, with a six-inch hook-length created by a small shot and 8mm bead. Above that was a 1/2 ounce lead. Size 10 Drennan Super Specialist hook. 

Nature notes: Two swifts feeding over the lake.
