Still no love from the Dove !

This week I fished another stretch of the River Dove but blanked again, only managing a couple of knocks, probably from some chub late on in the session.

Dove ... doesn't give up her secrets easily

Fished my first session on the legendary Dove, but was not lucky enough to get any fish this time. Talking to some other anglers I was certainly in the right spot, but just failed to enduce any takes.It seems these fish will not be a pushover (they never are) but I'm certainly used to a blank or two, so I won't be giving up easily either.

Sunset on a Tench Lake

Blanked tonight saw a nice sunset though - no fish showing at all! temp was v cold for June. I felt warmer in April ! Barry fished the opposite (NW) bank and I fished in the corner of the SE bank.
Neither of us had a bite all evening



In the next peg to my right however a chap had caught an 11lb 4oz Bream and a 7lb Tench that morning. Used my new Shimano 6000 GTE C Reel seemed nice and smooth, hopefully I will christen it next session when I will be on the Dove.
