River Kennet - Thtacham
1900 - 2330
Warm evening with temps dropping quickly once the sun went down. 9ºC when I got back to the car (drenched in dew!)
1 Chub 2lb 15oz. 11 Dace, 1 Gudgeon.
Ever since the winter I've hankered after doing a summer evening in this swim thinking that it ought to hold barbel. First hour and a half it was out with the trotting rod and after a biteless 20 mins I then had a steady stream of dace - including some very chunky specimens - I even weighed a couple of them - both went 10 oz. Around 8.30pm it was out with the ledger rods and I was soon settled down staring at a couple of rod tips. It wasn't long before my first bite - a lovely wrap around - which alas turned out to be a chub rather than the hoped for barbel. Plenty of other half hearted tugs and rattles followed - but nothing hittable.
