0800 - 1130

Bright and sunny. AT 54ºF, WT 52ºF - up 7ºF on Monday evening!

1 Barbel 4lb 11oz, 1 brownie 1¼lb, 5 dace & a roach.

Slowish morning's trotting - started out with lobs for 1st hour hoping for a chub or two but nothing doing. Then an hour's trotting maggot before the barbel showed up - target for the morning was a barbel so at least that box got ticked! Rather a lot of minnows in residence - more than I've seen for a long time!
