We have been to some really lovely venues over the years, but I think he has really taken a shine to Packington Somers Fishery now after I suggested he give the place a go. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He has issues with his hands that makes things I often take for granted a lot harder, so I am always keen to help him fish to his best ability and within his means. We have done a lot of pole sessions in the past but this time we opted for the rod and line. A tricky crosswind made the waggler difficult but we caught a few fish on the bomb over the top and the feeder without doubt was the best tactic.  So much fun seeing the rod tip whack around with a chunky Little Gearys inhabitant pulling back on the other end! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A great day spent on the bank in good company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-6 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jonarthur.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/bede-little-gearys-3.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"427\" height=\"640\" data-id=\"7319\" src=\"https:\/\/www.jonarthur.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/bede-little-gearys-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7319\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.jonarthur.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/bede-little-gearys-3.jpg 427w, https:\/\/www.jonarthur.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/bede-little-gearys-3-200x300.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 427px) 100vw, 427px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jonarthur.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/bede-little-gearys-4.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"427\" height=\"640\" data-id=\"7318\" src=\"https:\/\/www.jonarthur.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/bede-little-gearys-4.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7318\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.jonarthur.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/bede-little-gearys-4.jpg 427w, https:\/\/www.jonarthur.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/bede-little-gearys-4-200x300.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 427px) 100vw, 427px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jonarthur.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/bede-little-gearys-6.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" data-id=\"7320\" src=\"https:\/\/www.jonarthur.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/bede-little-gearys-6.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7320\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.jonarthur.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/bede-little-gearys-6.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.jonarthur.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/bede-little-gearys-6-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jonarthur.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/bede-little-gearys-7.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"427\" height=\"640\" data-id=\"7322\" src=\"https:\/\/www.jonarthur.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/bede-little-gearys-7.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7322\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.jonarthur.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/bede-little-gearys-7.jpg 427w, https:\/\/www.jonarthur.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/bede-little-gearys-7-200x300.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 427px) 100vw, 427px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jonarthur.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/bede-little-gearys-8.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" data-id=\"7317\" src=\"https:\/\/www.jonarthur.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/bede-little-gearys-8.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7317\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.jonarthur.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/bede-little-gearys-8.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.jonarthur.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/bede-little-gearys-8-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jonarthur.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/bede-little-gearys-9.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"427\" height=\"640\" data-id=\"7321\" src=\"https:\/\/www.jonarthur.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/bede-little-gearys-9.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7321\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.jonarthur.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/bede-little-gearys-9.jpg 427w, https:\/\/www.jonarthur.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/bede-little-gearys-9-200x300.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 427px) 100vw, 427px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I am fortunate to spend a couple of days a year on the bank with my friend Bede, catching a few fish in great surroundings.
