Took the dog for a walk along the canal, it looked tempting for roach as a few were dimpling on the surface. Went home cleaned all the mud off my wading boots from yesterday, and watched the F1 at Abu Dhabi, which was ok , Lewis Hamilton won. As soon as the race finished i jumped into action, grabbed the net, , and pike gear (cause i wasn't really prepared for roach fishing) lead for the dog and we were on our way with only a few hours of light left . I had packed only 3 flies a pink one , one based on the "fire tiger" colouring, and a flash fly. I had a tiny jack on the fire tiger .

Then a brace on the pink before calling it a night, as darkness came over. Slow -slow retreives was the tactic of the day and a wee countdown of 15 on the intermediate.
I'm looking forward to hitting the canal soon, still shifting stuff from livi to edinburgh at the moment but if I don't get out fishing the mood swings will surely start, nice fish Col, and nice fotos!
