River Kennet - Brimpton

1200 - 1430

Warm with bright sunshine. AT 17ºC. River very low (of course!)

1 Chub: 1lb 10oz, 1 Dace. 4 Brownies 2 in the 1½-2lb range and two under a lb.

I hate trout! Bright conditions and a low, clear, threadbare river were already very sub-optimal conditions for autumn chubbing. And what I really DIDN'T need were acrobatic brownies turning up 'early doors' in ALL my favourite chub hotspots. Alas, that's exactly what happened. Dropped into the weirpool for 15 minutes just to catch something without an adipose!

 Chris almighty. Sorry to hear you've been browned off. Trout are a pest, I can only hope that will those needlessly showy sharp teeth that they much their share of crayfish. This said, for a less talented angler like me I don't mind them too much - they are often the only fish over a couple of pounds that I see, so I'm (reasonably) happy if you send your larger ones my way. 🤪

They're not exactly a challenge though - I'm sure I catch the same one quite often - stupid things are just suckers for maggots especially if they're white ones!
