Well its been three weeks since we have had any rain in Worcestershire, Im not moaning but its doing nothing for the sport in our rivers in the region.
The Severn is now way below summer levels and is running clear, but still a good pace.
Its when the river is like this I decide to keep my river fishing down to short sessions, when I say short I mean short, maybe as little as an hour.
After walking the river severn yesterday at arley, I spoke to a few anglers who had blanked, and a pattern was emerging, they had all turned up after 8am and were packing up come 3pm, the worst time in my opinion, when the rivers are in this condition.
I planned a short hour long session the next morning in a pretty uninspiring peg to see if my theory of fish feeding in short sessions worked
"early morning mist at Arley"
After choosing my swim in the car park my aim was to catch one within a hour of arriving and get back of to bed for a few hours kip !!
5.02 am still before light and only 15mins fishing !!!
After snatching that small barbel in a swim thats not fancied I decided to limit my barbel fishing over the next few weeks to either very early morning sessions (before dawn) or at sunset.
I shall have a go on the teme this week.
