Germany 25-06-2024

With a late start I opted to fish my secondary water conveniently located next to the pub.
I started with fishing the mill pool hoping that the any pike that had flushed out due to an earlier snafu with the mill weir had returned back. Alas nothing hit the streamer I fished.

Since that weir blowout the already shallow weir pool had become even shallower
so not exactly attractive for pike to hold.
The seasonal clearing of the water made it apparent how shallow that pool had become.

I opted to fish the stream further back and found the usual small fish like roach and
dace although I could swear that I spotted a trout scooting off.
After a while I tried the mill pool again hoping for a perch on the squirmy.
I would think that for a perch the squirmy would be irresistible but that assumption was incorrect.

In the end a pheasant tail nymph with a black bead and a pink crystal chenille collar 
proved to be the perch catcher.
The weather on this day was nice but not as warm as I had hoped so surface action was not visible.

When the light faded I came to the conclusion that the water was not really that warm
so the choice to call it a day and go get something to eat was quickly made.
