That's one beautiful brownie!

Our bit of the Darent is at a height and pace that I haven't seen in the nearly 40 years I have been fishing it, except in chocolate flood. It looks like the chalkstream it actually is.

Meanwhile the breamfest continues, every bream in this picture is over 8lbs, 2 doubles, 4 more caught after I had the picture taken because my net was overcrowded! Probably about 150lb of bream and tench, bloody ridiculous!

Utter slimefest! Don’t do any fishing with keepnets, do the fish recover well after and being kept out the water?

Really pleased with it, and it’s a really lovely urban water. Perfect wild fish and relatively clean water despite 1 kilotonne of traffic going over your head every minute

They all go back and swim away just fine, they're only out for about 2 minutes. Everything is pre-set for the pictures, you take about 20 and delete those with fish flipping into the air! The only reason I occasionally use a keepnet is to avoid returned fish spooking the shoal.
