I have had two days on the river Kennet this season teaching general river fishing but especially float fishing with a centrepin. This is becoming more popular thanks to that nice Mr. Wilson and his TV programmes but he is such an excellent angler that he makes centrepin fishing look so easy. People watch him having so much fun and then go out and buy a centrepin reel, only to find they are quite tricky to master. That’s when they come to me.
The chub were obliging after a little practice but very few small silver fish were showing and the barbel refused to co operate totally to a moving bait.
Rob caught the best roach I have seen from the Kennet for a while and couldn’t really understand why I was so excited about it, it bodes so well for the future this being quite a young fish.
We had to revert to legering to catch Alf these barbel.
Both guys had a great day and were fun to teach.
