River Kennet - Padworth

 

1830 - 2300

 

Clear and misty evening. 15º -> 10ºC. River at normal summer levels - though carrying a bit more colour than usual after the weekend's rain.

 

2 Barbel: 8lb 11oz, 4lb 14oz.

 

Both fish in first 1¼hrs - smaller one 1st cast. Was also greeted by a Barn Owl flying within 10-15' of my head - probably hunting for the legion of rats scurrying around on the bank behind me after it got dark!!

Well the rats have just put me off fishing for barbel after dark. I'll continue to trot for them in broad daylight

Yes, Viney TAA water. And Chris if you don't like rats last night was not the night to be out - think it must have been a mother and a litter of about 8-10 - no wonder the Barn Owl lives there!
