Kennet & Avon Canal - Thatcham

0745 - 1200

Dull, overcast and calm. AT & WT at 44ºF.

1 Perch 1lb 13oz

A real struggle in seemingly ideal conditions - though maybe the WT still a little on the cool side. First 2 hours spent in 2 new swims (an hour in each) without a bite. A switch to one on my 'banker' swims produced the only bite (and fish) of the day.... oh hum can't win them all!
