Kennet & Avon Canal - Woolhampton

1500 - 1800

Sunny with scattered showers. Windy/blowing a hoolie, especially during the squalls. 8ºC

9 Perch: 2lb 14oz & 8 small uns - one of which was close to a pound the rest half that or less. 2 Pike: 3lb 13oz & 3lb 4oz. 1 Chub circa 8oz.

Pike are always a piscatorial hazard when fishing lobs but slightly miffed to get one from each of my 2 'banker' perch swims. It looked like my last trip here of the season would end in disappointment on the perch front until quite literally last cast (in the ever increasing gloom) produced a perch that actually fought back! Turned out to be my best of the season from this stretch of canal - still not had a 3 from here since I started coming here in 17/18 but this is now the 3rd season in a row I've come within a few ounces of that mark.

Ah, there's little as sweet as an injury-time winner. A nice way to end the season, and another year without any 0-0's? Good to see that perch (and jack pike) seem to be thriving, though perhaps that helps explain the apparent lack of roach.
