Middle Kennet (& carrier) - Marsh Benham

0600 - 1230

Hot and muggy. AT 18ºC - 28ºC. River a little on the low side but not at all bad for September.

12 Chub; A couple of around ¾-1lb - the rest all juveniles of around 6 inches. 1 Bream: 3lb 14oz. 50 Roach & Dace (more roach) - nothing especially noteworthy. 5 Perch - all small. 2 Rainbow's; 3½ & 4½lbs.

Early start to try and make the most of the cool of the morning - but didn't really feel it after the long hike to my swims! Most fish from the weirpool - where there was also lots of predator activity and I also had a bit of pike trouble - played one for an age which took my maggots - but it eventually snapped me - and had to stop fishing another swim as my catch kept getting snaffled!

I hate rainbows even more than browns - not meant to be in the river in the first place plus they don't fight like trout so you think you're landing something decent until you see that flash of pink - 😠
