  2. Kennet & Avon (Flowing) Canal - Colthrop 1030 - 1400 Cold, overcast with sleety showers and a raw Easterly wind. AT 2º-3ºC. River clear and pacey. 1 Chub: 4lb 2oz, 1 Grayling: 1lb 2oz. 3 Brownies: all ¾-1lb. Brrrr! , somewhat sub-optimal conditions, so pleased to winkle out a chu...
  3. Kennet & Avon 'flowing' Canal - Colthrop 0900 - 1300 Cool, cloudy & calm. AT 0ºC - 5ºC. River at normal winter levels with a hint of colour. 1 Chub: 4lb 6oz. 1 Grayling: 1lb 1oz. 1 Brownie: c¾lb. Another recce session exploring some new swims based on some recent 'intelligence'!...

  5. Kennet & Avon 'flowing' canal - Thatcham 1300 - 1500 Mild, calm and overcast. AT 14ºC. River quite pacey, some of the barges were making very slow progress upstream, against the current! 1 Grayling 1lb 1oz. 4 Dace: all chunky with one good-un of 10oz. 2 Roach - a netter of around 8-10...
  6. Kennet & Avon Canal - Enborne 0700 - 1200 Cool and clear. AT 6º - 14ºC 4 Perch: 2lb 4oz, 1lb 13oz and 2 small-uns. Quick return here for more 'reconnaissance'. Fished 5 different swims to last weeks trip - though the bright conditions were somewhat sub-optimal for perch and had m...
  7. Kennet & Avon Canal - Enborne 0700 - 0930 Sunny spells - breezy. AT 12º-13ºC 4 Perch: 1lb 11oz, 1lb 7oz, 1lb 2oz & one around 10-12oz. Bit of a 'recce' session - fished 4 swims, giving each half an hour or so but only caught in one of them. Water seemed a little life-less and loo...
  8. 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...
  9. Kennet & Avon Canal - Enborne 0930 - 1400 Overcast with constant drizzly rain, with the wind picking up considerably for last hour. AT 7º-9ºC. 11 Perch: 5 over a lb - best two 2lb 11oz & 1lb 14oz. Biggest perch first cast! And they seemed to get progressively smaller as the morni...
  10. Kennet & Avon 'Flowing' canal - Thatcham 1345 - 1545 Bright and breezy. AT 8ºC. River very full with a tinge of colour. 14 Roach. 1 Dace. All small. Another rarely visited swim which can be very hit or miss - usually miss - but which I knew would be a large slack on a flooded riv...
  11. Kennet & Avon Canal - Enborne 1400 - 1600 Cool, calm with some milky sunshine. AT 7ºC 10 Perch; most quite small - with one good-un @ 2lb 4oz. 1 Pike c2½lb Successful dusk session after a big stripey, in a canal basin that is something of a winter aquarium - for predators and pre...
  12. K&A 'flowing' Canal - Thatcham 0900 - 1200 Cool, overcast and drizzly at times. AT 8ºC. River VERY full, flowing quite hard (for a canalised section) but clear. 2 Dace: 1lb 1oz (!!!) & 11oz WOW! I visit here quite infrequently as it isn't a particularly prolific stretch - though...
  13. Kennet & Avon Canal - Woolhampton 1430 - 1615 Cool and overcast. AT 9ºC 5 Perch; 3 between ¾-1lb+ and 2 tiddlers. All fish 10 mins either side of 1600 - not a bite before then!
  14. Kennet & Avon Canal - Woolhampton 0715 - 1045 Bright, crisp morning, though the breeze picked up a lot and was clouding over when I packed up. AT 2º - 8ºC 1 Pike: small (very - see pic below!). 1 Perch c6-8oz. 1 Roach - handsized. A cold start with bright sunshine above and grass...
  15. Kennet & Avon Canal - Avington 0630 - 0930 Brightening up after overnight rain. AT 6º - 10ºC. 2 Doz perch. Nothing noteworthy - though they weren't tiddlers - most around 6-8oz with a couple twice that. I had great plans for this week - and they didn't involve prospecting for per...
  16. Kennet & Avon Canal - Enborne 0730 - 0930 Continuous rain for the entire 2 hours I was bank-side. Started just as I made my first cast and eased off just as I made my last! AT 9ºC 13 Perch - with the majority a lb or better - the six I weighed went: 2lb 12oz, 2lb 7oz, 2lb 3oz, 2lb 2oz...
  17. Kennet & Avon Canal - Enborne 0700 - 0900 Warm, calm and overcast. A lovely, benign autumn morning - perfect perching weather! AT 11º-14ºC 10 Perch: 7 over 1lb (6 over 1½lb). Best 3: 2lb 13oz, 2lb 6oz & 2lb 4oz After Monday's false start (on the Perch front at least) it was a fir...
  18. Kennet & Avon Canal - Woolhampton 1430 - 1730 Mild, cloudy & quite breezy with drizzle at times. AT 10ºC 2 Perch: 1lb 14oz & 1lb 11oz. A much milder day than recently, so decided to try for some stripeys on the canal. Suspect the water temps haven't caught up as bites were few an...
  19. Kennet & Avon Canal - Enborne 1500 - 1730 Bright and breezy to start - heavy sleet showers to finish! AT 6ºC 3 Perch - a couple of 'pounders' and a tiddler. Disappointing end to the day (and the season) - I guess the topsy turvey temps over the last week have put the perch off so...
  20. Kennet & Avon Canal (flowing) - Colthrop 0830 - 1115 Cool and overcast with a stiffish breeze. AT 2-5ºC. River clear and still quite pacey. 2 Roach, 2 Dace; all small. Failed experiment to try and catch a late winter (BIG) dace. They are at their heaviest this time of year so it...
  21. Wednesday - The first non-frosty day for a couple of weeks, but with the ground bone hard, I was postponed from my gardening work. 1.5 hours lure fishing on the Kennet at Widmead. Looked lovely, at one point I did see the long body of a pike swim away from me near the bank, but despite swapping lure...
  22. Last Sunday, after the rain crashing against the bedroom window rudely woke me at 8am, I took my hangover and New Years jadedness to the match on the K&A. Remarkably the rain held off for the rest of the day after yesterdays deluge had left the water the colour and texture of mulligatawny soup....
  23. Kennet and Avon Canal - Woolhampton 1330 - 1615 Bright and VERY breezy. AT 11ºC 1 Perch; 1lb 11oz That was a bit below expectations to put it mildly - especially after starting with a semi decent perch in the first 10 mins (and in bright sunshine)- it would prove to be my only bi...
  24. Kennet & Avon Canal - Woolhampton 1500 - 1645 Bright -though getting damp and dewey as the sun set. 3 Perch - all 6-8oz. Inconspicuous end to the day - turned into something of a recce session as both my first two choices of swim were already occupied by anglers! None of the 4 sw...
  25. Kennet & Avon Canal (flowing) - Thatcham 1245 - 1500 Mild (15ºC) and overcast, quite breezy. 17 Dace - with around half over ½lb - I weighed two at 11oz & 12oz. 5 Roach - all small. 1 Gudgeon. Unexpectedly had a free afternoon - so thought I'd follow up some recent intelligence o...
