Between my health problems and Covid lock-downs my inflatable canoe has not seen the river for two years. But yesterdays forecast was for a fine afternoon so fishing buddy Alistair and myself decided to make the effort.
The plan was to find some new swims for bank fishing and use the fishfinder to find fish holding spots. But, of course, we would try some fishing for predators.
We headed upriver from Cajarc to fish under some steep cliffs where trees have fallen into the river. Perfect cover for predators!
A lovely Autumn afternoon on the river Lot....

My bait, cast amongst the trees, was taken on the drop.

Quite a fight on a Major Craft Turel 5-21 gr spinning rod!
The little inflatable canoe continues to earn its keep. Great tool for searching the river!

Fits easily in the car boot (deflated, of course!)
