Back on the rivers

Over the last week ,I have been fishing a gravel pit with spinner baits and frogs , where I lost a couple of low double pike, on spinner baits, and had several takes, but no hook ups with the frogs :(
and a small stream ,catching small perch, chub and mini jacks, on  1.5" tube baits, which were great fun on my lightweight set up

Today, I got back on the rivers, on the way home from work, I took a detour to a stretch of the Medway, which was very coloured , but I still managed to winkle out a chub (41cm), on a white 2.5" perch grub, with a small spinner bait attachment

I lost one more before calling it a day,

and heading for a smaller stream, 

which was a lot clearer, but still very pacey. 

I managed to contact a couple of perch, and a smaller chub, on kopyto lures

a close up of a big gob !

I will be returning to this stretch of stream very soon, 

as I think I feel in love with it, 

it has everything that I want in a fishery,

some fast shallows,

 a few deep wide bends,

plenty of features to fish to,

a lot of bank side cover.

Its the sort of place that is perfect for the mobile lure angler!

when the water level drops a bit , it will be perfect !
