Middle Kennet (& carrier) - Marsh Benham 

0930 - 1430

Mild, mainly cloudy with sunny spells. AT 12ºC. River very pacey with a tinge of colour.

2 Chub: 3lb 6oz, 2lb 3oz. 16 Roach - all quite small. 1 Dace (ditto). 4 Bleak.

Nice to see some silvers showing again! Usually when the Kennet is in flood this carrier is a mecca for silver fish and one of this season's mysteries was where had they got too - all syndicate members had struggled to find them. Nothing of any size alas - but there was an added bonus of no trout showing up! Made the long walk to fish my south bank slack - and was rewarded with the bigger chub (the smaller one had come from the carrier...)
