​River Kennet - Speen Moors

​0700 - 1500

​Mild and overcast. AT 14ºC. River at normal levels.

​4 Chub; 4lb 3oz, 3lb 11oz, 3lb 3oz, 2lb 13oz. 5 Dace, 3 Roach, 4 Brownies - 2 'pounders' and 2 parrs.

​Kennet chub-fest part 2! 3 of the chub caught in the first hour which took the pressure off somewhat so went exploring - with little reward. Had quite a few lobs to use up but none of the usual perch haunts produced so much as a bite. Ended up in a swim where I caught my first ever 3lb+ perch (in 1999) but have rarely fished it since. This did at least produce my 4th chub of the day plus a couple of semi-respectable roach.
