Oh come to me beautiful rain. This song pushed through my brain as I drove through Shepton Mallet. It was absolutely belting it down. My Go-Kart windscreen wipers tore back and forth but they were no match for the torrent - and I was going fishing...
I headed over to Lydford Millpond as it does offer some shelter against the rain. Luckily when I got there the worst of it had passed. I pushed on through the graveyard and slid down the rather perilous bank to the water's edge.
I slapped on a worm and cast out about 3 meters into the now swollen pool.
Bosh - the float went straight under!
A hungry chublet in the bag (or net). Unfortunately he flipped out of my net before I could photograph him.
A few more bites came, which I duly missed.
Then a better one finally latched on.
Little scrapper this one
I had a rather frustrating time missing bites and losing 2 off the hook. But it didnt really matter...
Just being here is good - catching fish is a bonus!
I caught 5 small Chub in total plus a Dace (I think). All in some dramatic weather - but I'm an all weather angler #hardcore.
Rain or no rain I'm all over it :-)
Dace! (I think)
