River Kennet - Nr Thatcham

1830 - 2230

Sunny and breezey. Temp 16ºC when I packed up but felt much, much cooler in the stiff breeze - intended to stay longer but was under dressed!

1 Chub 2lb 5oz, 2 dace and a brownie of about a pound.

Another evening of not catching barbel - looks like I'm gonna have to start stalking Viney! took the trotting rod as always and spent the first hour eeking out a few fish from a couple of swims. Then spent 3 hours getting increasingly cold watching 2 isotopes do nothing in particular save bounce up and down a couple of times when a bat hit the line!
