Hi guys,
Just started coarse fishing again after a long absence. I'm mainly
fishing the Thame, (not Thames :-), at Chiselhampton and Cuddesdon, here
in Oxfordshire. Great little river with a lot to offer. However, as with
a lot of rivers around this way it is infested with Signal Crayfish.
(Not supposed to take them in the Thames area BTW, but they are tasty!
:-)
Anyway, they seem to feed at early evening and dusk and I have noticed
the fishing going very quiet when this happens.
Question for all you learned types: Is there a connection in this or is
it just my imagination?
Pity this happens as I've been enjoying my return to coarse fishing
after fly fishing for the last few years. Work prevents any fishing at
other time of the day :-(
Thanks for your time,
Alec
