After a whole week without fishing, the weather has warmed up a bit so I headed back to the carp swim. River a little up on previous visits here but nothing silly and reliably informed that the water temp was 44 degrees.
Quite a slow frustrating evening though, 2 bream tappy things that didnt hook up, one bream that hooked up and came off (not a great loss) and a barbel that came off at the net. Didn't see it properly but don't think it was particularly big but would have prefered to have landed it to find out.
