Well you have your rain wish mate. Good luck and tight lines next week.Off up to the Annan Sunday for the week.
Rain please!
How's it fishing? This four seasons in a day thing we are having at present is no good - I'd take settled weather (of any sort) over this.

Suffice to say that in the first 2 days we caught more bream (11) and tench (9) than in the previous three visits put together. Then the weather changed and, as you have seen, I'm no fair-weather fisherman, but fuck me, we've been limited to a couple of hours a day. Soaked to the skin from start to finish. Rain like you've never seen coupled with howling gale. We're so wound up my brother and I had a fist-fight today.
Quite honestly the worst holiday I've ever had. If it wasn't for the third member of the party, I'd have booked the ferry home.

Jesus mate. That sounds grim.No. The lady-we're-staying with's morher died on Friday morning and the funeral's today. The guests were treated to the sight of two blokes in their 60s scrapping and uttering obscene oathes at each other.
Also, whereas once anglers were welcome everywhere we've been arriving at places we've been fishing for 20 years only to find the gates padlocked and "private land" signs everywhere apparently, they've been having the same problems we've been having during lockdown with people camping, making fires and shitting everywhere, hence the landowners, quite understandably, have taken action and we're the collateral.
There's more but I'll spare you since you only asked what we've caught. I won't be coming back though.
