A few hours last night, bankside at 9pm. Forgot my headtorch and isotopes, first two casts two eels. Walked back in the dark, got stung to buggery. The only positive was that I used some Badger Bug Balm and was not bothered once by our flying friends. It's almost like I had a forcefield as I saw midges and mozzies fly towards me then definately change direction at the whiff of the stuff. http://www.badgerbalm.com/pc-21-2-anti-bug-balm.aspx Cheers Ben

Not forgetting 2 of those pesky Crayfish took a whole 14ml halibut pellet. At the same time my big fish rod, which accounted for one of the crayfish, has remained utterly motionless, not so much as a line bite. Looks like friday the next opportunity, and it cant come soon enough, would like to get off the mark Dan

I will post the pics!

I caught a small (3lb) barbel and lost something much bigger. Not sure if there are mahseer in the Goyt. Looking forward to the pics, OA. Congrats on your fish as well.... Cheers, Rich
