Did a walk at Cally Woods on Saturday. Although very attractive it was disappointying as virtually no birdlife seen - just one jay.
So fitted in fishing trip to Brooms amid promise of improving weather. In fact quite a bit of rain and coole ENE wind. Possibly picked poor swim at NW corner of Bruce's Acre where much reed and tree curtting has taken place.
Nevertheless managed three chub, one of which was going on 1.5lb., two barbel largest about 3.5lb, good skimmer over 1lb and a gudgeon on caster. Rest all came on corn except second barbel.
Annoyingly a lot of fish came off once hooked - hopefully because of small hook size rather than overtight pole elastic. Fish certainly could not run much.
