Germany 19-12-2021
And again more rain, at least the competition stayed in.
As the upper section of the stream yielded small fish I tried the village stretch
for a change.
The former hotspot however did not yield much fish, at least some other species.
The best I could do was a couple of small roach and perch with the squirmy.
I dodged the rain and fished the mill pool hoping for larger fish.
Since the mill bypass was installed the fish population had deteriorated.
Now the fish could freely travel up and down the sections.
I still got some bites but missed the takes.
When I finally tried dead drifting the squirmy I managed a few small perch.
It was my intention to stay in the village to check out some other spot.
The amount of dog walkers and other people made me change my mind
so it was off to more rural parts of the stream.
The rural parts delivered some more dace as expected.
With the rain continuing to fall I decided to call it quits early and head to
the pub.
It turned out to be the last day the pub would be open as the pandemic
killed of business and new restrictions could happen any moment.
A bittersweet ending of the season in Germany.
