River Kennet (& Carrier) - Marsh Benham

0830 - 1345

Milky sunshine to start - clouding over - very breezy. AT 5º ->10ºC. River in good winter nick - full with a slight tinge of colour.

3 Chub: All over 2lb - best 3lb 6oz. 1 Pike: 4lb 11oz (On sweetcorn - took it on the retrieve!). A doz Roach; various sizes - one worthy of the scales went 14oz. 2 Dace - small. 1 Rainbow - 2½lb & 2 Brownies: 1½ - 2lb.

Last day trip to the venue I started my river season back in June. Was hoping to reacquaint myself with the 5lber from last weekend - or rather its big sister and I had a handful of red corn left over from Monday's chubfest. Alas, my first bite on corn was a brownie - which went airborne and threw the hook, second bite was the rainbow - which didn't and stayed on and then I had a flippin pike take my corn  as I reeled in to recast - who needs fancy lures when you can make do with 3 kernals of corn! I did eventually find some chub by switching swims and bait (back to red maggot). So no big last day chevin but a pleasant enough morning - especially as I had the place to myself - really expected to bump into some fellow syndicate members as it was the last day.
