Fishing down the Bristol docks

This strange vessel came by whilst I was
fishing.
The "PYRONAUT" is a FIRE-FLOAT.
It was used to fight fires on merchant vessels
in the Bristol docks.
It was built in the Albion docks, Bristol in 1934.

I managed some nice fish as can be seen from
these two photos

Fishing the Bristol Frome 16-06-10

Arrived down at the car park at Snuff Mill at 07.30
This was the first fish caught.
A Minnow. Well it was a start.

Next fish on was a small Roach but lost it
because the hook link broke. Ouch

Never mind this one came later.
Caught 4 in total

Two small Trout were also caught
this was the biggest

Nice to see these small ones, it means they are breeding well

Also caught was a 2ld 1oz Chub but it was to dark
under the trees to get a photo.
It was the only fish caught on the fly rod.
Total for 4 hours fishing in four swims was
1 Chub, 4 Roach, 2 Trout and around 6 minnows.
Very nice start to the river season.
The water was clear (viz about 5 feet)
little flow, down stream wind and loads of what I call
summer snow.
From 3 very large trees there is loads of what looks like
cotton wool. It stops the line sinking and slows the line when casting out.
NICE TRIP.

Yippeeeeeee! Fishing tomorrow

Here I go!!!!!
Down to the river Frome "Bristol Frome"

That is what it looked like the other day,
when I went for a 1/2 marathon training run.

Report to follow.
