Blanked again!

Got up early.. loaded all the gear and arrived at the mark nearly an hour later.
Set up the fly rod and yak and fished hard for hours.
No joy at all......
Now.. the water clarity was very poor, i don't know if this was the problem this time..
Finished around half two.. a bit fed up.. but it was a lovely mild day on very calm water...
The Pike win again!

Well......


The clue is in the title.....
After a nasty bout of flu which began the Monday before x-mas...i am starting to feel normal again. ( some people would say that's impossible!)
My appetite is still all over the place, but i feel the need to get out and fish.
SO....
a gentle start is needed.... with NO swells that's for sure.....
I may have to have another crack off the Pike with the fly rod..... failure beckons...
Watch this space.....I'm not nervous you know...
