Had a float fishing trip hoping for tench this morning. I caught more bream and rudd than tench, in fact only one of them came my way.....

but what a little beauty it was, you don't see many small tench but this one was perfection in miniature.

Lovely.

I had one of about a pound early this morning. I rarely catch them but they are always a treat.
