River Kennet - Hambridge

1015 - 1345

Very warm - with hazy sunshine. AT a balmy 21ºC when I packed up. River still very low - we've had over 3 inches of rain in October - though you wouldn't know it looking at the river levels!

2 Chub: 2lber and a 1lber. 1 Barbel: 1lb 14oz, 5 Roach, 4 Dace, 3 Gudgeon & a 1lb+ brownie.

 A change from my usual tactics as my 'modus operandi' when I have a morning at Enborne is to transfer over to Speen but decided to drop down to here instead. A bit of a scratchy morning though the plan included trying to winkle out another float caught barbel - so at least that box got ticked - though I suspect it was a repeat capture from previous vists this autumn.
