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...

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...

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...

Bayleaf the Gardener posted a blog entry in The Newbury & Port Talbot Blanker
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.
