River Kennet - Newbury
1000 - 1345
Cool, bright and breezy. River 'full' but not in flood condition - carrying a little colour but not as much as I expected!.
2 Chub; 1¾lb & 1½lb. 1 Pike 3lb 14oz. 18 Dace, 8 Roach. 3 Gudgeon.
Not so much a trotting session as a hold the float in a slack behind the tree session. Seems a lot of fish were shoaled up in a very small slack! In truth I hadn't intended to go today - Paul and I had acquired the required permissions for a session on the Middle Kennet tomorrow. But we've been keeping an eye on an unchanging weather forecast for over a week - and called it off! 
Still today was the relative calm before the storm and I wasn't overly surprised to see Rusty on the bank shortly after I made my first cast and he too snaffled a couple of chub (and not a lot else) from the next swim upstream. He only gave it an hour and a half and I slipped into his spot for the last ¾hr for a few more dace and roach plus a lob gobbling Esox!
