29th Sept Lacock again
The forecast was for rain in the morning followed by a sunny pm. Well the sunny afternoon didn't appear until 6pm.I was after a stunning pike that had taken a chub about 4 weeks ago. I had been guiding a young man (Jason) to catch a pb chub. We had the chub feeding on the hemp and there were a →
28th Sept Back on the Bristol Avon
Well here I was returning to the Bristol Avon and it's very average sized chub. It was a case of getting out and fishing combined with having a look at the river. With this in mind I decided to fish at Lacock. Here the chub are of a better average size but nothing like the D.Stour and H.Avon. True there →

Day Guiding Steve on the D.Stour
