Watching

On a few days I have called in at the Cave bridge to look at a fish, about 1kg, holding underneath the bridge.  On four visits it has been there twice.  It holds beside (not in front or behind) two biggish rocks running a small triangle over them.  There are bubble streams near by but not right over the lie. The lie is shallow, the water still carries some colour.  The photo is the lie; there is no fish in this picture!


It's hard to see it feed, it doesn't rise, but it does cruise off in-stream effortlessly about a metre then comes back to hold, I guess it spots something to feed on in mid-water.  Today I called in at 4pm and that was a minor time on a poor day for the solunar calendar, I threw a tiny pebble in a metre upstream and it swam to it.  The first time I saw it was Wednesday about 11am but I don't know what that was on the calendar.  It held for a number of minutes.  I got bored before it left the lie

There may have been another smaller fish in the deep pool to the true right of this fish but it may have been the same one too. .
