K&A Canal - Woolhampton

1400 - 1615

Bright sunshine - and quite mild at 9ºC but quickly got cooler as the sun set.

1 Perch; 1lb 3oz. 1 Pike 3lb 9oz.

With a couple of cracking perch already 'under my belt' (see 30 December part 1)! for the day I decided to fish a couple of new swims on this stretch. The first appeared to be Pike heaven - lost one, then landed one, so moved to another new spot - where I had a solitary bite right at the death resulting in the stripey....
