Good Afternoon.
I have just spent the last few hours moving my bivvy yet again. I have actually put it in a waterlogged field behind the swim, and although it does not guarantee water tightness, it is better than where I moved them before. I have actually packed one bivvy down completely and squeezed everything under my bed, to make packing up less work; and if I need to move the bivvy again, it will be much quicker than moving two! There is a slightly longer dash to the rods, but as I am fishing locked-up, the fish can’t really go anywhere anyway. However, to compensate for the longer distance in the dark, I will sleep in my waders and jacket, and that should speed up the sprinting process!
As normal there has been no activity during the afternoon. I went and primed my spots earlier, to try to sneak one out, but it will probably be the usual feeding times – early evening, throughout the night, and the brilliant morning spell.
I am now more determined than ever to see it through till the end of the session, as I just can’t stand the thought of packing up early, when the fish are feeding so well. It could pay off handsomely and I may get my deserved prize at the end!
Here is the picture from earlier.

Steady on Jake, you’re making a lake that’s considered to be pretty hard going look like some dead easy runs water … spare a thought for the credibility of the locals!
I hope this time your session ends on a high note with a couple more great looking fish.
Have fun catching more in the rain, the rest of the population of northern Italy are busy muttering, crossing themselves, and building arks!

Haha…you’re right there Jon! It is a stark contrast from the winter session. I have just had three more in the last hour, so it ain’t gonna stop till I leave. I am trying not to get complacent with the smaller fish, and living for the next take that could be the big one! I kjeep saying it, over and over again…I am due a biggie!!!
Thanks for all your help whilst I have been in Italy…really looking forward to Endine buddy!!
