Autumn Tench and Perch

Back at Woodrows on 1 October and although it was a nice few hours, I didn’t catch anything. On 9 October at Willington, the temperatures were in the mid-teens. It was a really nice afternoon catching Perch, one of which was 11 inches long and a Bream on red maggot and worm.

Back at Willington on 14 October, I’m really enjoying the canal, and getting the hang of the different depths and managing to find the fish. Plenty of Perch on this occasion, again on worms.

I fished The Coopers Arms on 15 October, and after a very quiet start for everyone, I landed Perch, Roach and a small Chub after heavy rain.

On 22 October I was at Longford for a few hours and caught three Tench about 1½lb and decent Roach, all on worm. I took my nephew to Longford on 29 October, and he was chuffed with his first Tench, and I caught Tench and small Carp.
