River Kennet - Nr Thatcham

1830 - 2130

Warm and overcast - with a couple of very light showers. River low.

2 Chub - both circa 2lbs. 3 Dace. 1 Grayling. 4 Brownies to 1lb+

Trotting/barbel session cut short! Started in a couple of banker chub swims - hoping for something bigger than actually turned up. Once I settled down over my ledgering rods things got err interesting! Was watching a pair of swans and their 6 cygnets slowly making there way upstream when suddenly the cob shot half way across the river and attacked an otter which had been coming in the opposite direction!!! Unfortunately it didn't do a good enough job at scaring it off as once the swans had left I spotted it twice more - and reasoned it wasn't going to make for good sport so packed up early!
