River Lambourn - Newbury

 

0800 - 1100

 

Cool & Overcast. 8-10ºC. River low, as per usual this time of year!

 

14 Grayling - 5 over 1lb - best 2, 1lb 9oz & 1lb 6oz. 7 Roach - all a 'nice' size - in need of a landing net! The 2 I popped on the scales went 11 & 13oz but the rest weren't much smaller. 1 Brownie (small).

 

Pleasant morning's trotting. Fish very spooky in the low water didn't get more than 1 from any swim EXCEPT the first swim I dropped into which produced 11 fish - including most of the roach - very strange!

Well done, Chris. I'm really pleased to hear that the otter hasn't gobbled up the better grayling. He was seen along the Lambourn this autumn. I feared that there might not be that many of them , and that they would be the right size for him - though on second thoughts they might even be a bit small! Also good to hear there are still roach in that low clear water.

I saw a couple of very sizeable grayling - unfortunately motoring upstream through the shallows after I'd spooked them. What does appear to be completely absent are the pike - would usually expect to see/spook at least a couple on that stretch...
