Its Been Too Long 23-9-17

Well it seems like ages since I last fished the river,I've been very busy at work and other stuff has got in the way of me getting on the bank.I finally arrived at the river at 6pm giving me plenty of time to get a peg and set up for the evening .The river was looking good and a nice level,no crap coming down so I decided to bang a float stop on each rod to catch any debris just in case the river started rising.5 Oz leads and pva bags would be my chosen tactic tonite.As usual pellet on one rod and boilie on the other rod were the bait choice,with 4 mm pellets in the Pva bags.It was a lovely evening,plenty of cloud cover and very warm.The peg I chose was about 60 yards down from where I last fished,one rod mid river the other slightly upstream.As I settled down for a coffee a few twitches started so a nice early indication fish were in the swim.It would be just before darkness and my first pull was a good one,Barbel on and a good fight in the flow as it tried to head for a snag ,thankfully I guided him away and over the net.
A nice barbel,fell to a Pellet,Game on.....................
As darkness fell it seemed to get warmer ,the bats were out in force tonite one flew into my rod.An hour went by and a double twitch I struck and fish no 2 was a lovely chub which came to the net.
A Lovely chub,Another pellet casualty.
As the night went by with no further knocks or twitches I decided to re position my rods to search out the barbel.More coffee,more cigarettes and nothing to show .Then a twitch and I'm in again,nothing big but a first on a pellet.
Fish no 3 ,A Dace to a 14 mm pellet..................
I packed up at 11pm it was dead and nothing happening.Nice to get out and chuffed with the catches
All the damage done by pellet.................
Till I'm out next Bloggers ,Tight Lines.
