Pete takes the tench....

We decided that an early morning session would be the way for Pete to capture his first tench of the season. Armed with a big pot of worms, and fishing the waggler,2 rod lengths out from the bank Pete took his first tench of the season, a cracking 6lb 11oz fish, five minutes later he took another at 5lb 14oz.... What a start to the morning. Both these fish came before 6.15am, under the spell of morning mist and a wondrously loud dawn chorus. Perfect!
Well done Pete!
