Fishing at Brooms at last. A bit slow, fish just seem to be coming on. Two small commons and a decent ide (perhaps 1 ¾ lb) on prawn feeder.
Later went into the margins but missed fish for various reasons, probably due to weak hook straightening out as well as difficulty getting out of chair. But managed three skimmers, one of which was over 3lb, and another small common on pellet. Worm was starting to work late on but a lot of finicky bites.
Need to fish more often - feel I'm quite rusty.

Tuesday 28th May
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.
