On the way home went the scenic route to avoid roadworks. Stopped at "home" stretch to check water levels. No welliies in work uniform! Couldn't resist 15 mins dabble. Two grayling in that time,the second a pb for the season so far! Funny old game this fishing!

Mrs S now going to chiro & much improved! Difficult day on Dorset Frome Monday. Even a well thought of grayling fisherman called it a day so no shame. Out on my " home" beat today,very calm. Fished a 3.5 metre level line on the Otaki rod withered 3' tippet with single pink shrimp. Ended 3 hrs fishing well into double figures, two of which were over a lb.
Well pleased

Not sure if I'm plain clumsy or just unlucky. Made decision to "buy British to save on replacement costs on imported T rods. Since then haven't broken-until today! Then two in one session. I would love to say it was large salmon or sea trout. I have been using a line a metre longer than usual but the first breakage happened as a fish wiggled itself free and line& top two sections of myOtaki rod ended up in tree! Got rod back only to find break at junction of sections 1 & 2 with 1 jammed. Car near so put 3.5 line on spare 11' masu only long enough to catch tree and break section one just below lilian!
Stop fishing,get on phone to good people at Tenkaracenter U.K. for spares!
Hopefully here by Saturday! By the by also accompanied by a pair of gooseanders. Did not have shotgun! If

Obvious quote of the day." Man with bundle of sticks and snappy jack Russel arrived riverside.Just started to get windy so walked towards him. Are you fishing? Me:I was! Not stopping cos of me are you? Me: no reply.
Why else would you be standing in water with fishing rod? Perhaps he didn't recognise Tenkara!
