River Kennet - Nr Thatcham 1830 - 2130 Warm and overcast - with a couple of very light showers. River low. 2 Chub - both circa 2lbs. 3 Dace. 1 Grayling. 4 Brownies to 1lb+ Trotting/barbel session cut short! Started in a couple of banker chub swims - hoping for something bigger than actually turned up. Once I settled down over my ledgering rods things got err interesting! Was watching a pair of swans and their 6 cygnets slowly making there way upstream when suddenly the cob shot half way across the river and attacked an otter which had been coming in the opposite direction!!! Unfortunately it didn't do a good enough job at scaring it off as once the swans had left I spotted it twice more - and reasoned it wasn't going to make for good sport so packed up early!

River Kennet - Nr Thatcham 1830 - 2330 Cool, overcast, breezy and drizzly (well it is July!). 13ºC. River lowish and quite coloured. 1 Barbel; 6lb 11oz. 1 Chub 2¾lb. A pleasant evening despite the conditions! Both fish in 1st couple of hours - chub first cast. Enjoyment of session somewhat tempered by the sight of a really big dog otter - 1st time I've ever seen one here - and pretty sure its a different animal to the one I've seen further upstream - had a good long look at it as it swam upstream at around 9.00pm - not surprisingly the swim went a bit quiet after that!
