Kennet & Avon Canal - Enborne

1300 - 1800

Bright and sunny - with broken cloud. AT 12º - 7ºC

15 Perch; 10 over 1lb - most around 1lb 8oz/1lb 12oz. 3 over 2lb though not by much - biggest 2lb 4oz (also had a 1-15). 2 Pike; 2lb 10oz and the other half that!

Lively afternoon. I was here really to be ready for when the sun went down - but the action was steady all afternoon - even when the swim was bathed in sunshine. Was very hopeful that the witching hour would produce a real biggy or 2 - but alas the pike turned up - the bigger one bit me off twice before I was third time lucky in landing it (and getting my 2 hooks back!) I slipped it back a LONG way upstream only for next cast to produce a real tiddler of an esox!
