River Lambourn - Shaw

0930 - 1330

Cool, overcast and drizzly. AT 6ºC. River full and clear. 1.68m on the Shaw river gauge.

6 Grayling - a couple of 'pounders' - biggest 1lb 6oz, 3 around 8-10oz and a tiddler. 12 Brownies - all small/parrs.

I had planned to fish the Kennet today - but another 14mm of rain yesterday will have completely stuffed up even my most favoured flood swims. Somewhat of a scratchy morning - largely failing to avoid the small trout which were everywhere. Session somewhat redeemed by the last fish caught which was also the biggest lady,  from a swim that had recently been vacated by another angler!
