Winter fishing 2014? And a HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

A fin-perfect and stunning Perch from my local river.

Well....HAPPY NEW YEAR to everyone! Out with the old and in with the new. I wonder what fishy surprises 2015 will have in store? The one thing I would dearly love more than anything is a big (2lb +) roach from one of my local rivers.....not the easiest of tasks to achieve but a good challenge none the less. I think if it's going to happen, it'll be between now and the end of the season or later in the year after September time. I will be out there trying though, that's for sure.

This winter has been kind for us river anglers so far. We haven't had the ridiculous amount of rain that the previous year brought and consequently the rivers have been in good condition. I have been out targeting the pike, perch and grayling over recent weeks and have had made some good catches. I'm still chasing down a 20lb + pike from my local rivers and will continue to do so when conditions allow through until the end of the season. It'll either be piking or roach fishing for me now.

I have made a short movie of my recent 2014 winter successes running up to the new year, all shot on my go-pro camera. Check out the action below....Tight lines until the next time!
