Don't listen to any of the BS stories on here, especially Snorky. Didsbury Dave photo shops a lot of pics but we know......

Second day of my annual Portugal tour. Usually come in October but it was so hot last year we moved it back a month. Which is probably why I haven't had a fish yet. Still.......

This last few days have had mild nights and warm, overcast days. A river angler's autumn dream. I "stole" a day off on Friday, or an afternoon and legged it to the Ribble. It seems like lots of others thought the same so I was arsing around for an hour or two trying to find a quiet spot. I finally got fishing about 2pm, 2 rods, pellet on one and meat on the other. It wasn't easy, with leaves hampering presentation, and then about 4pm I started feeling like shit as I'd had my vaccine booster the day before. I had a nodding bite and was quite surprised to find a barbel on when i lifted the rod. It wasn't a big one, 4 or 5 lb but I was pleased. I decided I couldn't face the long and difficult hike back in the dark (I've got lost here before) feeling like shit from my vaccine, so picked up the rods to pack up and there was a chub attached which hadn't even given an indication due to the balls of leaves around the lead.
Sunday I had a day on The Tees after the pike, again in perfect conditions. It was tough with both deadbaits and lures and we fished about 6 swims in total. My mate had one run and had a nice fish on for 30 seconds before the hook pulled and it ended with a blank. So no pike, one barbel and one chub from two sessions feels like a disappointing return given the conditions.

Absolute sickener. Hook pulled or snapped. More detail required.
