River Kennet - Newbury

1900 - 2330

Warm, overcast and breezy. River very low.

1 Chub; 2lb 7oz. 20+ Dace, 9 Roach.

5 Weeks into the season and not a hint of a barbel so far! At least there appears to be an abundance of silver fish in the river and a bonus chub provided a modicum of action on the ledger rod. No otter sightings this evening - just a family of mink - 4 of them rampaging along the far bank margins!
