My original plan was to meet up with my friend, and fellow Korum Consultant, Ed Matthews for a trip to the fens where we\u2019d do some Rudd fishing.<\/p>\n
However, due to a drop in temperature and lots of rain in the weather forecast, I decided rudd fishing would likely be a washout.<\/p>\n
I\u2019ll be honest, after seeing the weather forecast the day before my planned trip to Trent, I was having second thoughts.<\/p>\n
I figured there would probably be a lot of bites in the wet conditions, but I wasn\u2019t exactly keen on the idea of fishing all night in the non-stop rain that was forecast.<\/p>\n
Time off from work cannot be wasted though, so I packed up two sets of waterproofs and made the long, tedious drive up the A17 to Newark.<\/p>\n
The good news is that it only rained once during my time on the Trent, but that\u2019s only because it never stopped the entire time I was there! I arrived during the late afternoon and was surprised to see that the water level of the river wasn\u2019t as high as I\u2019d expected.<\/p>\n
I had visions of the river flowing onto the fields and having to use ridiculously heavy feeders to hold bottom.<\/p>\n
As I drove down the track, I was greeted by a rather soggy looking bailiff who informed me that the river was in good condition.<\/p>\n
Though it seems I was the only person stupid enough to go fishing in the heavy, sideways rain. Still, I was here and it was time to choose a swim.<\/p>\n
My choice of swim was based on two factors, one being that it had some nice, deep and steady water on my inside bank, the second being that if I chose a swim on the other side of the fence, I\u2019d be in a field full of cows.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
