River Lambourn - Newbury
0800 - 1200
Bright and breezy with a few light showers. AT 7º - 13ºC. River very full - but crystal clear as always!
16 Grayling with 7 around a lb or better - 2 of which were substantially better at 2lb 2oz & 1lb 14oz 
(!). 8 Brownies - one real lump of around 3lb the rest all small/parrs.
Default venue when the Kennet is in flood and my first 2lb+ grayling from the Lambourn in over 2 decades. (Last time was 27/12/01). Took red corn for a change (don't often use it here) and whilst it did catch me a couple of pounders - both big ones fell to maggot. As usual I didn't catch more than a couple from any one swim and whilst I had planned to wander back to the top of the fishery and work my way down again in the afternoon a number of other anglers turning up mid-morning had me changing my plans and 'going around the corner' to have a look at the flooded Kennet.
Who needs the Frome!
