Kennet and Avon Canal - Thatcham

0700 - 1000

Overcast and mild (16ºC) becoming breezy.

9 roach, 1 dace and a bleak!

Exploratory session, searching for and spectacularly failing to find some new perch swims. Fished 4 likely looking swims (3 I've never fished before) and didn't get a touch on lobs from any of them - not even from crayfish. Gave each spot a good half an hour on worm then had 5-10 mins on maggot to see if there were any bait fish around (there were every time!)

Ho hum - good exercise at least!
