Far From The Madding Crowd

Having hit my first marking deadline I decided to have a few hours this morning on a new river which is a tributary of the river I usually fish. I was expecting the fish to be of a smaller stamp as this river is small, very rocky and shallow.
The first fish meant I had to revise my estimate of the potential of this new water as it went 4lb 8oz! 

Had another nice fish from the same pool.

..and another good one at 4lb 4oz

This has got me fired up about exploring this new river.
