A new swim

I fished on Sunday afternoon on the River Dove, it was quite busy when I arrived so I tried to get a little out the way and tried a new swim. The river looked absolutely spot on with a tinge of colour and I was quite optimistic about catching a barbel.

4lb 9oz chub

 Alas though it was hard fishing and my only bite produced a nice chub. I packed up a little earlier than usual as it didn't feel like much was happening and on my walk back to the car discovered other anglers had faired similar.
