I had a black cat feeling about my first fishing day of the year … spotted one in the field on my way to the water 🙂
Then again that sudden temperature rise would surely put the pike in feeding mode despite the rains that where predicted.
To put it short … total blank today … not a single bite and halfway the session it began to rain seriously.

Fished the border stream again and the water looked pretty good, did not see any fish but it is after all January.
At least we have no ice or snow around here.
On the way back I took the shortcut again through the preserve when it was almost dark and well the highlanders where again on the path I was on. I had some doubts about passing them so close at dusk but made it out without a scratch.
