Picture Special: Fishing in the Cantal, France

In terms of bass fishing, 2013 has been a pretty hit-and-miss affair thus far. Sunday, however, was the exact shot in the arm I’ve been waiting for…

Nothing huge to report, but we had plenty of bent rods (fly and lure), singing drags, a decent dose of sunshine and lots of laughs.

Venue for the day was Chichester Harbour, fishing with Paul Haldenwang of Salty Dog Game Fishing. Here are some highlights:
