Kennet & Avon Canal - Enborne

0745 - 0930

Warm (for late October), calm and cloudy with 3 brief showers. AT 13/14ºC. Perfect autumn perching weather - pity no one told the fish!

4 Perch: best 1lb 13oz with another 2 around ¾lb and a tiddler.

Surprisingly subdued session - lots of activity on the surface and I concluded the perch were more interested in chasing fry than having my lobs for breakfast. The smallest perch I caught which was not much longer than the lob it took, had a gudgeon's tail sticking out of its mouth and I'm at a loss to fathom how it managed to take a  lob with its gullet already crammed full!
