The "flamed" pattern gives an otherwise cheap rod a bit of character . Probably pre war but of no value whatsoever . Luckily the fish aren't fussed about what they are caught on. In fact they probably would prefer not to be caught at all Edited May 19 by comanche 1 Quote Link to post

There the days you think it's worth a 7 day lay down at the side of the bank not getting ghosted when you book the week off work. Some times to get f**k all. Welldone mate. 1 Quote Link to post

Leo Sayer 3,521 Posted May 22 Report Share Posted May 22 Add a quick hour yesterday as was busy with work errands. Was fishing for bout 10mins with a soft lure and as I was retrieving lure just about to come out of water a fish struck the lure but never took . A long slimish silver fish about 7 inches long . Then a barge came through and all the water seem to go a lot more discoloured after that . Got home and some bits had arrived from Temu. So hoping these little lures will be worth a chuck. 4 Quote Link to post

Didn’t even get a bite , but I did get talking to one old boy who said there is not much in that stretch and put me onto a different bit to try . I did see fish , quite big and was bream apparently. I also got sick of the constant alcoholics and crackheads walking the towpaths, just wrong uns. But I did see this nice peace of art work. 3 Quote Link to post
