At last,we've had some sun and good clear skies that have kicked the fish back into season,I've been down to the canal and ajoining river a lot but without a bite.Today was perfect so after work I trotted down with my fishing mate,7 year old Carl and gave the canal and river a shot.Plenty of takes by small fish but 2 good results by these 2.The perch from the canal and the Sik,which I have no idea what it is in English,from the river,but can tell you in Latin,lol.Must say the Sik was a beautiful looking fish with a nice pull on the bigger rod,coming in at approx 25cm in length.Not sure wy the picture makes it look small though.
The Nanofil is great but any snags it seems to fray,I presume thats due to the way its made.Sensitive yes,fantastic for city fishing.

Well,I'm afraid the weather has turned cold again since our last outing to the canal.I've tried a couple of times but it was bitterly cold and nothing going on at all.I just hope the sun heats the water up and kick starts them.Never the less,I'll keep trying,and obviously let you know what's happening.In the mean time I'll try and post some pictures of the area's I'll be fishing.

Sorry for no updates but this time of year its pretty quiet over here unless you enjoy cold windy weather,afraid I don't but we've managed to get through.Its been a strange couple of months,the ice melts from the river and canal then freezes again unexpectedly.Anyway fishing,spent lots more on tackle and a new tackle bag,Savage Gear Pro Roadrunner Gear Bag .Love it!Perfect for me and my needs for local fishing in a city.So this week with high temperatures and low winds I've been out with the UL kit.It has been a great learning pattern with various shaped jig heads,to be honest never expecting to catch a thing as water levels over here are low equalling the UK levels.

So yesterday,Wednesday the weather was great,nothing at work and my 7 year old who "assists" me has gone through a bad cold and just needed fresh air.So i took him down to the river,20 mins later,left handed he's casting like a pro.UL rod, 0.5 to 5g rod,2.5 g jighead and nanofil line.....hmm thank God he did'nt catch...but I did ;) a nice 33cm sea trout!And did that outfit perform...fantastic.....all on a panic minnow
from AGM.what a result......weather here has deteriated again for the Easter weekend,but I'm determined...thermals and waterproofs here I come...have a good Easter everyone..tight lines.
