Bloody hell ! Watching City and fishing at the same time. Pleasure overload. Just one bite so far and one very large chub. After bragging last week about carrying two sets of scales I decided to "travel light" today and jettisoned both sets. Typical. My mate and I agreed it's bigger than the 5lb chub I had the other week but couldn't get a photo that does it justice. This one gives some idea though.

My plans to get a photo of a grayling in the snow this morning were scuppered when I got up because it had melted. Never mind, I was on the River Calder about 10am with my centre pin, waders and stick float. I searched for deep, steady water because with snowmelt in the river I knew the grayling would be shoaled up as deep as they could be.
I hit the jackpot in the very first swim and was catching grayling from the off, of all sizes, with several big ones that I didn’t weigh. After an hour or so it was quieting down so I moved downstream. First cast here and I had a big one which I weighed at 1lb 9oz. Next cast was bigger at 1lb 10oz and is a new PB. I had plenty of others from this swim all between about a pound and a pound and a half.
I must have had 20 fish but had to leave about 12.45pm to give myself time for a bacon butty and a shower before the match. Very pleased with this session and it’s a PB I wanted to beat this winter after never really focussing much on grayling. I think I’ll stick at it a bit this winter to see if I can crack the 2lb benchmark, but I’m hearing the call of the predators again as it gets milder.
