River Lambourn - Newbury

1330 - 1630

Drizzly and breezy (despite the promise of a dry afternoon). 13/14ºC . River very low and full of leaves!

26 Grayling with more than half needing the net and a lot of fish an ounce or two either side of a pound. Biggest weighed in at 1lb 5oz. 4 trout to 1¾lb.

Usual catch a couple and move on tactics - fish very spooky in very shallow water. Caught quite a few by 'sight fishing' - watching the maggot get taken and not waiting for the float to register!
