Niall Butler and Michelle Kane recently went to a small lake in Fermanagh that was known for holding small coarse fish. They set their gear up accordingly, hoping to catch a few roach & perch etc. and they were soon into the action as the roach were biting as expected.
Roach were the target, and they seemed to be biting well…
However, they were surprised when a fish took, and put such a bend in the rod that they knew it couldn’t be a roach… After a while, they saw a green back emerge through the water and were astonished to see a trench on the end of the line, as they had no idea that there were any tench in the lake. It wasn’t the only one they caught either, so now Niall and Michelle have a new tench spot. Lucky them!
…but the tench were totally unexpected and very welcome…
…so it was smiles all round!
