Tench on a Wizard

Post by Digger »

Just thought I would share this pic. The most beautiful Tench I have seen for years. Lots of orange and although it doesn't fully show in the picture, the scales were scattered with gold and orange which looked amazing in the poor light of evening.

Just stunning.

Very nice tench! The last one I caught from the Thames was coloured like that.

That has to be the best looking Tench I’ve ever seen! Congratulations.

Our club stocked a lake with orange bellied Tench some years ago. They were listed by the supplier as being Croatian in origin?
