28-1-11 Streatham

Making the most of the current weather conditions...i.e NO RAINtoday's choice of venue was the Adur at Streatham fishing HW down from 8am-2pm and again, with roach baits.Andy had joined me and we moved upstream using two rods each, in the bitingly cold easterly wind.
Water clarity was again good, and continued to improve as the tide dropped.The only action of the session, apart from seeing a barn owl on the wing,and me sliding ar** over t** in the mud when reacting to the take, was this plump little fellow at 7lb. Not a big pike by any standards but welcome nonetheless, and a fish on an otherwise difficult day.
I think I might have smiled for the pic though!
