River Kennet - Hambridge

0900 - 1230

Cool & overcast (4º - 7ºC). Calm before the storm! River up a good few inches with a tinge of colour - looked in great winter nick!

3 Chub: 3lb 14oz, 2lb 15oz & 1½lb. 5 Roach - all quite small. 4 Dace - one clonker of 10oz the rest all small. 1 Grayling & a Brownie (both around 10oz), 1 Bleak.

Pre-emptive strike before Storm Bella arrives this evening and stuff's the river up for the next few days!  Slow but steady sport all morning - didn't move from one spot - everytime I thought about resting the swim I had another fish.
