River Lambourn - Newbury

0830 - 1230

Cool with sunny spells. AT 4º-9ºC. River in flood. 1.95m on the Shaw gauge (20cm above top of normal range). Riverside Lane was under water. Also carrying a bit of colour after it rained all day yesterday - fullest I've ever fished it!

17 Grayling: 9 over a lb, best 4: 1lb 15oz, 1lb 14oz, 1lb 11oz, 1lb 7oz. 5 brownies all around 4-6oz.

The ever reliable Lambourn comes up trumps again. Most fish from 4 swims which, as I had the place to myself, I was able  to fish twice, with 3 of the 4 producing good fish again after the rest and return policy. Waders a must for nearly every swim on the venue!

Nearly a 2...
