Bon Repos Rr Blavet feb 22

For reasons not worth talking about I was late to begin fishing , despite promising myself at least 5 hours to have a good chance of a bream catch my day had left me just 3 hours of daylight. On the plus side it at least looked like being a lovely evening for the time of year, this is a really beautiful stretch of the Blavet , not far from where the river enters the huge lake Guerledan. Days of rainfall had swollen the river and extra pace and colour convinced me that feeder fishing for bream would be a good bet ,with the shortage of time in mind I mixed about 2 kilos of stiff groundbait laced with caster and fed and set up just one feeder rod. I began with a 30g feeder which would just hold bottom at about 20 metres, with the colour and flow I felt confident in the mild conditions. Just 10mins into the session the tip dropped back and I was in to a good fish. Bloody hell ! it came off, no apparent reason it just did. I reassured myself
that this was no problem , the set up was ok and more would follow! How wrong can you sometimes be , despite all sorts of modification to the rig , plus various re grounbaiting techniques not another touch. With less than an hour of daylight remaining I set up the pole at 8 metres to try and avoid the blank. Would you believe it, good roach very first put in . I finished the day with 19 roach and 9 bleak for between 4 and 5lbs. A little annoyed that I missed a good hour or two on the roach.
