River Perch
Fatty had the correct papieren bitte so the great escape was well and truly on.
Destination Aldermaston Mill to meet Stevio and a few other ne'er do wells of the piscatorial persuasion. To accompany the Mole two pies were riding shotgun.....a steak and ale and beef pasty; they did not make the return journey
Tackle was a green stained Wizard type rod and doctored Wilson Heritage. It would be a trotting day with red maggots; and lo it was so!
Two roach of about 6- 8oz made a mistake, along with some dace and chublets, minnows and two decent perch.....the biggest had his portrait stolen:
Pleasingly just over the magic two, at 2lb 1oz, also very handsome with his chalk-stream colours
The day was a strolling about sort of day; the type much favoured by Moles....better still upon his return home was another pie cooked by a smiling Matron , trapped wind surely, never mind as the scran was good!
As ever,.........

Re: River Perch
Thanks Paul F.......river perch, especially Chalk Streamy denizens really are the most handsome of fish!
......and you were meant to be there naughty boy.....take a House Demerit!
It was a Gudgeon Match but the ones in the Mole swim were too scared to come out for some reason
Perhaps Garry is correct, for once, with a sensible answer.....
.....is this an attempt to curry favour Garry in case Matron decides to annex Tisbury, whilst utilising the Procter Household as base for these activities?GarryProcter wrote: ↑Sun Oct 15, 2017 8:28 pm Probably most of the gudgeon were inside Moley's perch
Involuntary bed wetting, through fear, is not a good look for a grown man Garry
Vielen dank Herr Duebel.....ein sehr schoner Barsch
Also many thanks to those who read the continuing escapades of Fat Mole.
As ever,.......

Sadly boarding school duties took precedence . A major reason for me retiring next summer.
