The final work party at our Padworth fishery on the river Kennet prior to the new season starting next Sunday, was carried out yesterday, with help from some of the Thatcham AA members.
The pathway was cut, all swims prepared, and new swims created by the removal of tree limbs, the sign on the car park gate was replaced, and the car park grass was cut.
This follows Friday’s update from the Kennet Hatchery Project, that they had successfully transferred 1/2 a million fertilised Chub eggs to the tanks, along with 1000 Barbel eggs. If there was any reason to be more positive about the future of the river Kennet, this is the news we all want to hear, and be a part of.
Enjoy the new season on the best kept fishery on the Lower Kennet.
After leaving Padworth, I travelled to our river Mole fishery at Cobham, and carried out the first herbicide application on the Himalayan Balsam.
It will be a long process to eradicate all of it, but if I can keep it manageable, it will stop it taking over the fishery.
Tight lines for the 16th.

Well done all
