River Kennet - Marsh Benham
0830 - 1300
Foggy - eventually clearing to sunny spells - though bites dried up when the sun appeared so was quite happy with the gloomy conditions. AT 14ºC when I left. River quite low and with a little colour.
5 Chub: 3lb 11oz, 2lb 5oz and 3 around 12oz or smaller (This year class appear to be everywhere!) 40+ Roach and Dace (more roach than dace) - a nice stamp with around half of both species in the 8-10oz class. Biggest dace I weighed went 10oz and biggest roach 12oz but there was a lot of a similar size. 1 Bream: 1lb 4oz. 3 Bleak. 3 Rainbow Trout; biggest 4lb 11oz (did actually weigh this for a change!)
A great morning's trotting on my syndicate stretch of river. Most fish from the weirpool apart from the two bigger chub and the troot. Rainbow's were a bit of a menace - as they kept turning up in swims where I'd started off with a chub.
