Kennet

Post by Gudgeon Jim »

I Had a day on the Kennet at Wasing today fished a few pegs picking up a few good trout some small roach and plenty of decent dace.
The skys darkened after lunch and thought i would make myself back to the van and seek shelter.
I drove past a few pegs and found one with a parking space so i decided to park up and try a ledgered lob worm in a lovely looking swim as i did the heavens opened thunder lightning and hail stones, i got in the van and watched the rod after a few minutes the rod came off the rests i ran and struck it and landed this beauty. I was soaked to the skin but felt it was worth it. I used my faithful cane and my old mitchell 300.
