River Nene, Ringstead (WDNAC)





Thursday 3rd September 2020
Just a short visit (09.30-12.00) to the Nene for my first lure fishing outing of the year. I fished the main stem of the Nene alongside Barker's lake, utilising the newly installed platforms along this length. The river was very weedy and clear with a downstream breeze. Started off using the Salmo Tiny (3.5cm, 2g) and managed a couple of quick small perch.


After this early 'success' I had no more takes, could not see any follows and there was still a lot of weed and so I decided to target the Chub using a surface lure (Lil Bug in green, 3cm/4.3g). Whether there were any chub in the stretch I fished I have no idea, but I certainly never detected any, perhaps another day (maybe fish the backwater instead).
