With a mild autumn there’s still lots of boat activity on the canal leading to poor water clarity. I’ve done well with dark coloured creature baits, including a great little session on the Hart Curly, seen here.
Brute of a Brown Trout took offence at my Hart Absolut Minnow as I bounced it back towards me, with the flow. After a little walk around Newbury town centre together, we exchanged pleasantries and she went on her way again.
