Kennet & Avon Canal - Enborne

0730 - 0930

Continuous rain for the entire 2 hours I was bank-side. Started just as I made my first cast and eased off just as I made my last! AT 9ºC

13 Perch - with the majority a lb or better - the six I weighed went: 2lb 12oz, 2lb 7oz, 2lb 3oz, 2lb 2oz, 1lb 14oz & 1lb 12oz with most of the rest in the 12oz-1lb class.

First part of a favourite 'double-header' and a repeat of my trip here at the start of the month - with 3, 2lb perch in my first 3 casts! I had watched a forecast as I had my brekkie an hour earlier and the was no mention of morning rain (just afternoon showers which duly arrived) so was not amused at the drenching. Still the biggest of the morning decided to bite when it was at it's heaviest and my relatively new fishing coat was put to the test! Pike trouble ended proceedings again mirroring my session here 3 weeks ago and with clearing skies I was off to Speen....

2nd biggest of the season...
