I was a match fisherman until about 10 years ago until the Carp bug hit me.I
have since done no other fishing apart from sitting behind my buzzers
waiting for a run.Until yesterday....
I decided to get the old match gear out and go down to the tidal River Frome
at Wareham(Dorset).I fished the free strech called the "Towpath" apart from
a morning frost the conditions were perfect .I set up a light stick float
with maggot and cast as bait and an very small 18 hook.I managed to get
about 10lb of roach and dace.Some of the roach were up to a pound and I
even had an 12oz dace.I had really forgotten what brilliant fun stick float
fishing was and how well roach and dace fight in the current.I going agin
soon.
