| A Cold Day On The Upper Kennet Went to the Upper Kennet near Newbury today, it was a cold start to the day, perhaps Winter is arriving at last!  The bright sun and clear skies quickly got rid of the frost but the fishing was hard. Did manage a couple of small grayling and the resident brown trout were quite obliging:   In the late afternoon I had a suprise when this decent bream came to the net from a swim only a couple of feet deep:  Quite a hard days fishing but the location and the fact that I wasn't at work more than made up for it.  __________________ "I'm playing all the right notes but not necessarily in the right order" Eric Morcambe     |

| Re: A Cold Day On The Upper Kennet Well done Neil, so you have done the reccy, did you pre bait the pansy pool? How do you reckon a small maggot feeder and a quivertip will do there, as that is my preferred tactics for the weekend? See you Saturday.

| Re: A Cold Day On The Upper Kennet Quote:
What grayling I did get came from the faster shallower water rather than the slower paced stretches. I reckon most fish were in cover, close to rushes, trees and the like (it being very clear and bright), so I would say the mini feeder or straight lead should work well. "Pansy Pool" is on the Denford Fishery and I'll be heading for that particular spot on Saturday. __________________ "I'm playing all the right notes but not necessarily in the right order" Eric Morcambe |
