We were checking out a new stretch of the Severn when we spotted a chap on the oposite bank using some very ancient looking tackle. My friend asked if he had caught anything and the guy responded in a well spoken tone "No, just had some chub nibbling at my bait" - it was none other than Mr.Chris Yates!

I came down this stretch the following week and landed a mid-double pike (see previous post). I'll be coming back very soon...
