A fishing irony


While my friends were driving South yesterday to take a part in our club's freshwater field day / weekend, I was driving North to come home.
I have some work to be done by this weekend, so spending a whole weekend chasing fish was unfortunately not an option.

Anyway, it turned out that I had a bit of time to go fishing this afternoon, so I went bream fishing for a hour or so instead. An irony was, I hooked up a good fish which I haven't caught for some time during this winter. It was one fine fish, and I would not catch it, if I was gone South. Watching the fish swimming away, I thought missing the field day wasn't that bad after all.

今週末は、クラブの鱒釣りフィールドデイなのですが、来週までに終わらせなくてはならない仕事があって、みんなと一緒に泊まりで釣りに行く事は出来そうも無いので、行くのは止めにしました。

だからと言って、釣りに行くのを諦めた訳ではなく、今日の午後は、ちょろっと家の近くでクロダイ釣りに行ってきました。
まさに、捨てる神あれば拾う神あり、久々に良い型のクロダイが釣れました。


A good start, I thought.




It was a fine fish.




Looks like a new hook did a good job.

We missed you, but the fishing was not too good in the morning. Roger and I left by 14:30 and only 7 trout and 12 perch came out between 7 of us.
