There's not many true leathers around but this one comes close enough to earn the name.
It was a difficult three days, the weather was good but the carp were nowhere to be seen.
Then on the second evening the odd fish started to roll, then a few more, for two hours it kept me standing by the rods in anticipation, but nothing happened.
An hour later as I was putting on a brew the left hand bobbin slammed up to the butt ring.
As ever I used hand sharpened hooks from Specialist Sharpened Hooks and some rather *special* popups, but that's for another day 👍
