That was tough!

Dawn Rutter 8th May 1962 -18th June 2014

After nearly a three year fight with cancer my youngest brother's partner of 27 years left him, and us, for what we all hope is a better place.
She leaves Pete and their 18 year old daughter Lauren to start life again.
It's been a painful few weeks,back in Essex with my brother.
Hopefully the pair of them are over the worst of their mourning, and will soon be back to some semblance of normality.

Dawn will always be remembered for the straight talker, laugh a minute, always with a smile girl she was.

Rest in Peace Dawn, you will be missed so much.  Picture of Black Dragon



A night session

Thought I would pop down to the valley and fish lake one with just my fly rod, and a rod for eels for a few hours and arrived at 5pm.
Tackled up the eel rod and put a bunch of 3 lobworms on the size 4 and let it fish itself whilst I set up my Constable of Bromley 6 foot Wallop Brook rod for a bit of drop shotting for perch.
Both rods remained fishless until an hour or so before darkness fell.
By that time I had long given up the drop shotting with every intention of going back to it later.
In the meantime the carp started taking my worms, so with a change bait to sweetcorn the occasional roach and a nice crucian turned up.
Need a new net, eel damage!







I think I caught this one twice!

The wind got up a bit and the clouds moved in just before the sunset so I decided that 5 hours was enough and headed back down the road.


10:56


 I think a trip to the river is due!


It's that time again
