Middle Kennet
0700 - 1700 (yes we packed up an hour early to have a pint on the way home!)
Cold easterly wind - bright sunshine for first few hours then cloudy. Temps around 6ºC most of the day.
6 Chub; Biggest 3lb 8oz. 1 Pike; 5lb 15oz. 3 Perch; (all small). 4 Roach; 1lb, an 8oz fish and a couple of tiddlers. 15 Dace. 6 Brownies to 3lb. 1 Rainbow of 4lb 2oz.
Something of an anti-climatic end to the season. Fish clearly weren't feeding - though things improved slightly when the sun went in. We also started by exploring some new swims - me in a swim which screamed chub - and which I thought had produced when a good fish dived for the tree roots - alas it suddenly transformed into a Rainbow Trout at the net! Pike on lobs meant for perch - and the 1lb roach WAS a nice way to finish off the day. We also witnessed Phil catch one of 1½lb - the biggest roach I've seen from here for since 2007! Paul ended up with more of everything (chub, dace & roach) though I don't think he managed a chub over 3lb.
A couple of pics from Paul. I think the reel is a Speedia???
