River Kennet - Marsh Benham

0630 - 1130

Bright sunny morning. AT 12º -> 23ºC. River very low with a hint of colour.

14 Chub: A 'pounder' and a baker's dozen of small-uns. 30+ Roach & 25 Dace: nothing particularly note-worthy apart from 3 or 4 dace of around 8oz, 5 Perch; all fairly small. 6 Bleak.

A trip to my syndicate stretch in the hope that Thursday's rain may have gingered the river up a bit and whilst it was still very low there was a little bit of colour. Loads of 'silvers' in every swim I dropped in though the bigger chub must still be sulking somewhere inaccessible. Great to see lots of juvenile ones again - bodes well for a few years time!
