 Yesterday I went fresh water fishing  On Kev,s suggestion on going fresh water fishing, I can say my enthusiasm was low for this Then he mentioned that it was some one who i knew,s favorite trout spot and anything that i could wack on the head would deny him of these fish , So the game was on!!!! We arrived mid after noon at some water that did not look to have any tide run,, I was told fish like i do for bass an i should catch With no tide and too much fresh water for a bass i went any way ! The place we was fishing is called drified canal,,,froingham end Oh was that a secret WHOOPS !!! It was snowing and the wind took us all the way down to a structure known as a lock gate, these are big doors that make a big tide on one side and a small one on the other ,,,,very confusing these things,,like an artificial tide barrier there was an eddy that had been made by 2 rivers meeting ,,,i thought that looks bassy but no it was not!!!! i went to the strange river structure there was lots of fast water there so i thought a bass type fresh water fish may live there they don't ether by this time it was snowing quite hard!!! so i said lets go back up river tide !!! ,,,it was like a snowy wind tunnel and snowy i towed my 9cm g60 yo-zurie back up the snow wind tunnel river thingy,, i was told i may get a pike doing this this was another lie!!! there was none there i thought those pike are just toothy Pollock so my g60 should hammer them There was no fish and it was cold and it snowed hard with wind This was a very unsuccessful trip and put me off the river till its warmer and more river tide is running

i havent a clue what its called , game fish ,coarse ,fresh water,,salt free
but it was fishing ,, i done think im very good at it or the fish were not hungry
there were alot of coke cans floating about,,the cola content of the water may be to blame too

Good effort Al - how do you fancy a swap?? As someone who's never paddled yet ( I've all the gear and no idea at the mo) whats the chances of meeting up once the rivers have shut in March ( just too busy persuing Pike at the mo), would love to have a go in the sea and if your prepared to laugh at me for a full day getting to grips with stuff I will gladly take you to some spots on the rivers in the summer for the chance if some big perch and in the autumn a chance of some nice Pike.
All the best
John
