Kennet & Avon Canal (flowing) - Thatcham

1245 - 1500

Mild (15ºC) and overcast, quite breezy.

17 Dace - with around half over ½lb - I weighed two at 11oz & 12oz. 5 Roach - all small. 1 Gudgeon.

Unexpectedly had a free afternoon - so thought I'd follow up some recent intelligence of this stretch producing good dace and roach. Information I wasn't entirely surprised by as I had this super dace from here a couple of years ago. Biggest dace first cast started proceedings well and whilst I had quite a few more in need of the net none of the roach that showed were in the same class!
