Victor Gavristov’s Fishing Diary - carp, canal catfish Fishing at Litvinovo Fishery, Moscow

Captor’s Comments:

Thnx to Nick Gilbert for his article "Pellet waggler basics". I found it very interesting and translated it into russian. Next step was to try it in a practice. Actually, I don't know commercials with right pellet waggler condition and hi stock lavel, so tried it in a swim with 6 meters depth :)

During my first pellet session i've got a lot of questions and... two unsuccsessful bites! I didn't hope to see one, but saw two! I thougth that my pallets sink too fast and i can not compensate it with refeed frequency. So I put 5 maggots on a hook and straight away caught two canal catfish with only 1 m depth set up. That was very, very exciting!
