November 5 2017 Dream Team on the River

It's been a long time since the dream team fished together.Yes Chris is back out for our winter campaign,glad he's covered the motorbike up and is always a pleasure to fish with him,by the way it was his idea of dubbing us the Dream Team.Anyway let's get on with the blog and I'll tell you all about it.We had discussed midweek the plan was to fish a stretch of the ribble if the levels permitted and we had a stretch in mind,well I thought so till Chris said fancy going to a different stretch,so me being so kind we headed to the different stretch.When we arrived it was blue sky's,no cloud cover and full sunshine.You can't order the weather you won't so make the most of it and let's go for a long long walk .I had two tactics today,tip rod,maggot feeder and maggot on the hook and then switch to liquidised bread and bread on the hook for some chub .Chris would be on the pin fishing maggot trotting.

Float on its way through on first trot.

Chris casting out.3 Trout and a grayling and then Chris came back for a brew.I was still waiting for my first bite and as Chris sat down ,2 Taps I'm in.Grayling on for me .

After the grayling this was followed up by two trout.Chris was back trotting and was into more trout.After lunch we moved into another swim.Chris swapped to feeder now .Wasnt long before I was catching dace one a chick,only small.Chris had a few too.As the day wore on we moved again ,time for some bread I thought and Chris wanted to trot a swim he'd had success in before.We settled in to our different swims.The conditions were still bright and I was convinced I might get some chub action .

Chris running his float through his new swim .Id managed a couple of minnows on maggot before I'd gone in with the bread.Chris could only manage another minnow whilst he was trotting.The bread wasn't working.The sun was dropping slowly,temps dropping so one more move.
