First let me apologise for not posting for a couple of months but I lost my mother suddenly in the middle of December and I have also been waiting for permission to use some of the pictures I am about to publish.
Just before Christmas you may remember we had a very mild spell of weather and I took a new lad called Josh and his teacher Natasha to Twynersh. I started him, as always, with a whip but Josh had fished before and will soon graduate to rod and reel.
One of his first fish was this fine one pound four ounce roach, it is difficult to explain to the modern carp fixated angler just how special this fish is.
We also tried trotting the river Bourne which runs through Twynersh Fishing Complex, Josh was not quite ready for this but I managed to hook this chub during the demonstation.
If you'd like to leave a comment on this post, here's how.
