River Kennet - Marsh Benham
0430 - 1230
Warm and sunny (though very misty at 0430!). River at normal early summer levels and clearer than below Newbury.
6 Chub: 4lb4oz, 3lb 14oz, 3lb 10oz, 3lb 5oz & 2 'pounders'. 40 Roach & Dace in roughly equal nos - slightly more dace. A few chunky ones but nothing to worry the scales! 3 Bleak.
Lovely to be back on the river on a glorious summer's morning. Great sport trotting my 'base camp' swim too. I fished around dozen swims in total - but this became a tactic of simply resting my weirpool spot which produced all the chub and most of the rest. Gratifying to not be bothered by trout as well!
