River Kennet - Speen Moors

0900 - 1430

Cloud, clearing to bright sunshine - with showers to finish! AT up to 15ºC. River low and clear - despite over ¾inch of rain yesterday!

5 Chub; 3lb 13oz & 4 in the ¾-1lb class (They're everywhere!). 3 doz (!) roach - most quite small with 3 or 4 'netters' - I put a couple on the scales and they both went 12oz. 8 Dace; small save for a couple of clonkers at 10 & 13oz. 3 Brownies; 2, 'pounders' and a 3lb+ brute of a fish (already had a kype - which seems rather early!)

Fished half a dozen+ swims and had roach from pretty much all of them! Also had a good wander around for my first visit of the autumn - great to see so many silvers in the river - though was rather hoping to get amongst the bigger chub.
