Kennet & Avon Canal - Enborne

0700 - 0900

Cool and mainly cloudy with a raw easterly wind. AT 3º-5ºC - but felt sub-zero with the wind chill!

1 Pike: c2lb. 4 Perch all small.

Not the most ideal of conditions for a dawn perching session and a bite off from a pike first cast didn't help either - nor did the duck gangbang that kept kicking off in my swim, 1 poor female mallard was being molested by 4 males at the same time! Bites at a premium when things did settle down and the only fish to put a bend in the rod was yet another lob munching jack - this time just nicked in the scissors...
