Tributary of the Loddon, south of J11 M4. Cove AS has a decent stretch near Swallowfield. I've had fish to 12.02 from it, but haven't fished it for four or five years.

Don't know the river above the Cove water, and only fished that for a season, but I would think there's the odd fish further upstream. Give Yateley Angling Centre a ring - they might know a bit more.

Looks nice... | ||
|
First recce - looks good - plenty of weed - and pretty unspolit - compared to the Kennet.
Spoke to the bailiff - he's heard of fish to 13lb - Optimism reigns.. |

Result! | ||

First session on the new venue..
Fished last night - 6pm - midnight.. W/T 14.6c - a/t 12c - mild & overcast - perfick... One bite - 10lbs Chuffed would be putting it mildly... ;-) |

Slower... | ||
|
Fished last night - 6.30 -12 midnight.
W/T 13.2 A/T 13..a slight overcast meant it was still not too cold. 2 bites - a chub - and a barbel 7lb 10oz, so saved the blank. This river doesn't appear to contain any crayfish..Simon, is that the case? Cheers |

It's UP... | ||
|
and coloured - probably up 3 or 4 feet - the swim I was fishing before the rain is now under water - looks very promising w/t 11.6 so down a bit - will have a crack later in the week...

Shame I can't get out for the moment - 10.6 and rising - back to normal levels now - almost
