River Blythe.

Water quite clear, normal level.

Fished 2 swims.

1 chub about 2.5lbs on meatball.

Wasted lots of time on a recce of a part of the Blythe I hadn't seen before. Interesting, but didn't quite grip me enough to go all in and try it. One for another day when conditions are better suited to it. Returned to familiar pastures for another brief dabble into dusk.

Memo to self: do something different next time! This is getting a bit repetitive.

All the ice from the previous week had cleared due to temperatures picking up throughout the week. But, it went much cooler again to start the weekend, but being calm, it was actually quite pleasant.

River had dropped nicely in the week, following severe flooding across the whole county at the start of the week  Cold weather remained  all week though - by far the coldest snap of the winter so far.

Probably madness to even attempt it. Rod rings icing up towards the end of the short session.
