My name is Matt Kemp, I hope you enjoy reading my fishing diary. Just some short accounts of fishing on my local rivers (usually the Derbyshire Derwent or the Trent). I try to keep this diary updated as often as possible, and I do go fishing quite often. If its not been updated it probably means I've not been fishing.

27/08 Derwent
After a biteless couple of hours moved downstream. After another couple of hours without a bite started to pack a few things away and noticed my left hand rod tapping away. Fearing a small skimmer or such like had attached itself to the hook wound in to something more solid than expected. A 9lb barbel that must have been swimming towards me. 22:40. Stayed a little longer but nothing else, just that one bite all evening.
