The Kennet in all its glory, a fantastic day in good company , the fact fish were caught was secondary. This diary will try to recount our season to date , but starting half way through , it may be disjointed . It is not a dairy of mega barbel , and chub , but of two average anglers , just catching our share.
We fish different rivers , and many stretches , sometimes on the same day , but that's a story for latter . The season starts last winter really , Sue was in a swim , and we had caught a few fish . I had text a good Friend of ours , Dave Mason , to tell him of conditions , and the fact barbel were feeding . I then received a call from him telling us of an offer to join the bait team , testing Teme Severn products , and of a meeting besides the Severn in June to all meet up . That was bait sorted out for the coming season , but we had a few problems to sort out . Each time we go , we try to improve things , thinning down tackle , trying new stuff out , and solving problems that annoy us!!. Couple of things that always seem to crop up were sleeping arrangements , due to the fact we are traveling anglers , and another is walking across dew covered meadows in the summer , and although not a wet day , getting soaked in the process. Our answer to these next time .
