River Kennet - Thatcham

 

1600 - 1800

 

Sunny with some broken cloud, Cool (4ºC). River still very high and carrying a bit more colour than last weekend.

 

1 Perch 2lb 4oz, 3 Roach; 14oz and 2 smalluns, 1 chunky dace of around 6oz.

 

Had a free afternoon so with the forecast heavy showers by-passing West Berkshire it seemed a shame not to visit my new favourite swim! And yet again it threw a bit of a curve ball - no chub - 1st time that has happened - but a smattering of silver fish turning up - also for the 1st time. Perch was literally last cast - almost too dark to see my float - consequently nearly missed the bite when it came!

Well I feel a little better now Chris but I've yet to encounter any fish in that swim during the last three ocassions that I've visited. Come to think of it I've been there a few times since I've had the club book and I don't think I've had a bite.

 

It's a very difficlut spot to get to without presenting yourself on the skyline, maybe I've not been stealthy enough and I spook them as soon as I arrive.

You have to crawl on hands and knees, dragging your rod and tackle bags behind you :)

 

I fished there yesterday and blanked as well Rusty.....mind you it rained the whole time and the water temp was only 44F.
