| An Evening on my Local River hi all, I was able to persuade My Dad to take me to a small stretch of my local river. I decided to freeline a lobworm insearch of Trout, not my usual target but fish atleast. I had heard of trout being caught from here but i had not fished this stretch myself. I was hoping to back this up by catching one. ![]() Stretch of River The weather had finally cleared for the first time the whole weekend and after it had poured the whole day the river was quite high so as i expected there was a good flow of water. ![]() Upstream With the first cast i hooked a small trout around 4/5oz only to lose it as i lifted it out of the water. Each cast i was feeling small knocks on the worm and after about ten minutes i landed a small roach. ![]() Me ![]() Me again I moved around the bend of the river and let the freelined worm swing through with the current i did this for about 20mins with no luck. ![]() Downstream I decided that was enough, as it is such a small river it is unlikely to hook anything after fishing for more than 20 minutes without a bite. So we headed on to find another suitable stretch but we never stopped to fish again but we saw some nice spots for the next time. Maybe next time i will catch one of the trout but atleast i did not blank ![]() __________________ Blackwater Tackle Supplies Keep Ulster's Waters Healthy, Practice Catch and Release! |

| Re: An Evening on my Local River Thats a good looking little river. Any fish from such a venue is a triumph, mobility is probably the key and a little loose feeding every now and then. Feed the swim, rest the swim, move on, go back - a great way to go fishing. ![]() __________________ "I'm playing all the right notes but not necessarily in the right order" Eric Morcambe |

| Re: An Evening on my Local River Thanks for all the replies, I hope to go out at the weekend again if im able to get my dad to take me and the weather holds up. I checked out a few more deep swims on downstream a little further, I may try there and the few other swims which i come across on sunday night, i hope they can produce the goods. I let you all know how i get on. Justin, __________________ Blackwater Tackle Supplies Keep Ulster's Waters Healthy, Practice Catch and Release! |

| Beautiful little river BW. Sometimes such small waters can throw up some suprisingly large fish. Looking forward to hearing how you get on next time. Good luck.... __________________ Don't Judge My Path If You Haven't Walked My Journey... |
