1st blank of the season

Anyone else struggling for a bite on the Thames.
Had a good roam between kingston and sunbury to no avail!
Not even the carp boys having any!!
Mmm

Reckon they will be spawning, or recovering from it, usual stuff, july onwards tends to be more reliable!

I think it is down to the brown diatom algae bloom - Why is the Thames a Brown colour? – Diatom Bloom Factsheet | Thames Anglers' Conservancy

It seems that these diatoms nourish everything in the food chain - it could be that the fish have plenty of naturals to feed on?

Fishing St Pats the other day (which runs off of the Thames - any weed that I reeled in was teeming with bugs).

Just a thought.......

Interesting as the Thames is brown but the Thame isn't...looks very odd at the confluence.
