| Report on 'chilling time at the kennet&avon' canal Mike and arrived at the canal around 10.15 yesterday morning, as we had to go into Devizes tackle shop to get our yearly membership. Weather report for the day was overcast and occasional showers, which we found out was a little understatement....in other words, it was p*****g it down. After a 15 min walk we found a good swim and set up.  I set my rod with a 5lb mainline and a stickfloat, quickly plumbed the depth and ready to go. Using maggot as bait, needless to say it only took a minute before I had my first bite, a roach, followed by more roach rudd and bream/skimmer, all smallish sizes.  By than it was throwing it down buckets, but wanting to be a proper angler I didn't give up. Followed by the roach, rudd, bream, there came the ruffe  They beginning to enoy me now lol Mike had better luck as he added perch, ruffe (lots of them) and what he believes might be bleak and gudgeon to his species hunt. We also found out from a passing angler that the canal definetly holds Pike as he caught one the week before. Around 7pm we started to pack up, by than we were drenched to the bone but nevertheless we had a good days fishing.  Me sitting on a pot of gold lol Claudia __________________ There is certainly something in angling that tends to produce a serenity of the mind." - Washington Irving     |
