River Kennet - Newbury (Whitehouse)

1330 - 1430

Started raining the second I cast out and got progressively heavier - blowing in my face so becoming deeply unpleasant!! AT 5ºC. River bank high, really pushing through and very coloured up.

1 Chub 5lb 10oz (!)

Well, as I was parked around the corner for my Lambourn jaunt I thought I'd at least have a look at the slack that produced my SB chub last week. With more water and a LOT more colour it didn't look at all promising - but that didn't stop me running a float through it! So more than a little surprised to get a bite - and even more so to get another fine chub from here. It would be my only take and with the rain lashing down (as if we need any more!!) I beat a hasty retreat....

First chub of 2024.

Topped out at 1.51m this morning (a new record for this river gauge!) appears to be dropping at last!
