Another blank on the Charente. One missed bite was all I had

Another blank. That is four on the trot, but I wasn't the only one. Three French anglers also failed to register a bite. I had two carp rods out and a swingtip rod for roach.

One of the other anglers hadn't had a bite all week and he had fished every day.

A pleasant day on the free section of the Itchen.  An hour or so wobbling a deadbait proved fruitless although something , probably an ambitious trout,  did take the tail off my bait. 

      I spent the rest of the day trying to catch grayling and l was very successful . That's if you ignore the fact  that none were over half a pound and most were a lot smaller. I did hook two real biggies though.One was certainly over 2lb. Unfortunatly both did the classic grayling wiggle- dance when they saw the net and came off.

Two   trout added to the variety    Both fought as if they thought l was going to eat them. Which I wouldn't have done .

As they were out of Season they don't  really count but they added to the excitment. 

I lost count of the minnows that l caught. Even a size 10 hook   couldn't  thwart them

Fished a new mark to try for a smalleye last night but got dogged out. Highlight was as I walked out an otter bounded down the field within 3/5 feet of me, obviously couldnt hear me with the wind in my face and wasn't until he was on top of me that he saw me
