River Kennet -Speen Moors
0900 -1200
Bright and sunny and quite breezy. At 6º-9ºC. River gin clear but still in the fields here and breaching the banks at multiple points - highest I've seen it this winter but it has still dropped considerably looking at the state of the fields surrounding. Found some dead, stranded fish in the field between the two weirs 
. They were quite decomposed, but looked like trout parr.
1 Roach (small). 1 Brownie - 4lb 14oz (yes I actually weighed a trout - thought it was bigger - a brute of a fish with a pronounced kype.)
A trout first cast is never a good start - especially as it was in the swim that produced 4 chub for me on my last trip here. Bright conditions and a clear river made for very sub-optimal conditions and I struggled for bites all morning - the large weirpool producing just the solitary redfin.
