you know I'm never too down when i blank, as you say its part of the game, also i think its a great learning curve, gets the grey matter going, if you sit there pulling them out one after another it really isn't any fun, but having a bad day, coming up with something a little different and bang you land, now that is fishing.

once fished a pool near Jodrell bank, and im not lying if i said i had 10/15 fish in the first hour, i packed up after a couple of hours bored.

I will blank at least 2 or 3 times in a season. The only time I get a bit down is in a competition if others are catching well. As we are in a boat it’s up to you to find fish, unlike course fishing competitions where you are allocated a peg and it’s a matter of luck if it’s good or poor. It does make you think what could I have done better or differently, particularly when you feel you have fished poorly. That applies even when you catch though. I was in a boat earlier this season and my partner beat me 11-2. Now that certainly made me think. On the face of it we were fishing similar flies and lines so there was obviously something in his presentation that the fish preferred. Every day is a school day when you fish!

It can get you down catching Sticklebacks I suppose :)
