My first tench this year

Post by TraditionalAngling »

My first Tench this year from a local lake a fine fish of 5lbs taken on a small piece of bread crust float fishing 9ft depth in the margins.Had a good morning with some nice roach & perch up to half a pound on worm/maggot.Still a lot of spawning going on.
Fishing with a Shimano Perfection 1010 that is the smallest match reel that shimano ever made only ever seen one and this is it.Have had some great fish with it up to a 14lb Common on the float loaded with a 6lb line.
