Water very high by virtue of the rain

River levels had come down and the were recording just below 1.5m at Ross, but I still struggled to find any slack water to target the pike here. I did manage to get one small 7lb one fishing less than 2ft from the bank.

1 Pike

Incredibly mild temperatures, stayed dry for whole session too. River up slightly (60cms)but not racing through. Nice colour, just fining down. Snagged twice on two first casts and lost hook lengths, but then found clear patch. Very strong bites, not wraparounds, but not far off. 3 good Chub, all in the space of 90 minutes (either side of noon). Biggest was a good 6lb fish, with the other 2 around 5lb. Fin perfect. All fell to ledgered pellet, 3oz just about holding bottom. Large splashes on 3 occasions. May have been pike, but Salmon more likely. Startled otter on trudge back.
Great way to end the year. Thank you.
