River Lambourn - Newbury
0930 - 1300
Cool and bright to start - clouding over. AT 5ºC. River VERY high (1.78m on the Shaw river gauge) I donned thigh waders and needed them to get to most swims I fished!!
19 Grayling: 9 over lb - best two; 1lb 10oz & 1lb 8oz. 4 Trout - all small/parrs.
I usually like to start the New Year with a chub but on a recce yesterday I deemed the Kennet unfishable (I was wrong - see part 2!) so opted for the Lambourn as a safer bet. All my usual hotspots produced a fish or 2 (unlike my last trip). Can't remember when I saw the Lambourn so high - which is probably putting off a lot of anglers - I didn't see another rod - which is a bit unusual even on a weekday...
First fish of 2024.
