Yes that dreaded 4 letter word….work. The bane of many an anglers life I’m sure. Still it pays the bills, as they say.
I did manage a trip to Wasing on the opening week. The fish appeared to still be spawning, so understandably the fishing was slow. Despite trying lots of swims, baits and methods I could only muster one bite which resulted in a lost barbel.
Since then I’ve been working solidly each day and can’t get bankside until next week. On the 6th August I’ve got a shoulder operation that could knock me out for up to 4 months. I could quite easily go mad!
Fortunately I’m on the Wye from the 13th July for 5 days and should be able to squeeze in a couple of trips to Wasing again before the forced hiatus.
To all those that have been out, I hope you have been doing OK?
