River Kennet - Nr Thatcham

1745 - 2215

Cool, clear evening under a bright half moon. New thermal trousers made their debut - so was quite toasty! River quite low and clear.

1 Barbel 10lb 4oz, 6 Dace (all around 6oz), 1 Brownie of 2¼lb.

Quick half an hours trotting - rather hoping to get a chub followed by the expected long hours of staring at stationary isotopes - so somewhat surprised to see the boilie rod wrap around after ¾hr of casting out. Had intended to stay longer but thought that would be pushing my luck!
