The Pikers Pit

The sun actually came out yesterday for a change.
A low double and some chunky jacks to glide baits, first time for weeks the river has been within the bank. It won't last looking at the forecast.

That's a big sky.

It was chilly at first light, but then the wind dropped. River will go back over the top by Sunday night looking at the forecast. The Jays were busy nest building, plenty of Kytes and Common Buzzards on the wing. Plus Roe Deer bolting, all in all a good day.

Quite, old boy. Next week will see the ruffians rightly given a flea in their ear and banished from the rivers for three months Luckily, they're daft enough to actually support this, believing that the close season was put in place to to protect spawning coarse fish...

Next you'll be saying that the Scottish rule of NO fishing for Salmon on a Sunday is because the Salmon is considered a religious fish and not because in ancient times farmworker John only had Sunday off work to go fishing. Oh sh** John its fu***** Sunday you ain't ever going fishing at this rate and besides it's Church day is Sunday and thee better go because you'll be outcast and ostrichsized by the whole parish if thee doesn't go.

Sensible policies for a happier Britain

Bloody scandalous when you think about it, a complete revue of our fishing seasons is long overdue IMO.

A walk out early this morning, ahead of the WBT season starting shortly. The sun shines on the righteous.

A Fisherman's Friend.
Nothing unusual about this I know but who doesn't like a Robin to pay a visit.
If you zoom in you'll see another foraging in the background.
