River Kennet - Hambridge

1330 - 1900

Warm (18ºC) and overcast. River low and a little turbid.

2 Chub: both ¾ - 1lb (had quite a few of this size recently - wonder if they've been stocked?) 12 Dace; 3 in the 6-8oz class. 8 Roach; one 'netter' others all small. 1 Grayling: small. 1 Gudgeon. 3 Bleak & a trout parr.

A couple of hours trotting followed by 3 frustrating hours ledgering pellet and getting totally annihilated by the crayfish. They were stripping the bait as soon as it hit bottom. Couldn't keep a bait on for more than 5 minutes so aborted what was planned to be a much longer session....😡

Sometimes I think we are fishing different River Kennets with your great chub catches but the crayfish story reassures me "same river"................ I have found, smellier the bait =more crays alternatively ,boil and prepare ,marinate in lemon juice and salad cream in the fridge overnight ,allow to warm to room temp ,add tomato and cucumber ,season to choice.
