A week on Teesside

[spindolero 1,109]

Had a week on Teesside with in laws.

Great weather they've had up there.

Managed to get 2 days in.

Wednesday at Newby Hall nr Ripon. On the [bANNED TEXT]. Right under weir, thought we'd bag a barbel or chub.

As it was only bits.....dace, roach, perch & eel.

Very low & clear.

 

Swale on Thursday nr Northallerton. Baking hot, no shelter.

Polaroids invaluable. Just paced up and down casting freelined meat to any fish we saw (mainly chub)

Managed a nice 3 1/2 lb chub in a deeper pool. Watching it charge the bait was a real buzz.

Decent first run then once i'd turned him and got his chin up it was game over.

 

That was it for the day though.

 

Said to my father I/L that they must be some rivers with 2ft more water in.

 

Tight lines all.

Yeah on the phone, will stick it up next couple of days.

 

But get this, I go back to work and a b*****d there had a 13lb 7oz barbel last Monday night out of the Kennet.

 

Had stuck a picture on my office door.

 

 

Talk about rubbing salt in.
