River Kennet (nr Newbury)

1900 - 2300

Sunny and breezy

2 Barbel (7lb 15oz, 4½lb), 1 chub (3lb), 1 dace (!)

River up (as you'd expect - but dropping) Quite coloured but no small debris (just the odd small tree!!!). Larger barbel 1st cast. Loads of small rustles and knocks which weren't crayfish (no marks on the pellet) - but which I'm pretty sure were dace - as I managed to catch one on 14mm pellet for the 2nd trip running - this one was much smaller too!
