River Kennet - Aldershot Water/Brimpton
0900 - 1400
Foggy start clearing to a bright, warm, sunny day. AT 12º -> 21ºC. River very low and a little coloured up - usual for early autumn especially after a dry spell.
2 Chub; both around ¾lb. 15 Dace; all quite chunky most around the 6oz mark with a couple of bigger ones. 13 Roach; all handsized or bigger. 1 Bleak. 2 Brownies - circa ½lb each.
A session topped and tailed in the weirpool at the top of the Aldershot - which produced all the fish save the trout. Hacked my way down the path (I'd brought my 'slasher' for the job!) to fish Brimpton proper - but a low river and a bright sun do not good sport make and I could only winkle out a couple of trout (and lost a much bigger one) from the 3 swims I dropped into. All dace and roach were of a good stamp which is good to see.
