Sun and Moon Times

The sun will be at it's highest point at . Today we have 16:27 hours of daylight. For shallow water fishing the twilight periods are often the most productive fishing times, especially on days when a major or minor time will coincide with twilight. In low light conditions predators have better cover for their ambush and often hunt in shallow water.

We can compare the current moon distance to it's minimum and maximum distance from earth and express that as proximity. A high proximity means the moon is closer to earth. At 50% it would be at it's mean distance. A high proximity causes big tides, currents and has a direct effect on increased bite times. A proximity greater than 90% indicates a super moon.

7 Day Fishing Weather

The weather plays an important role in fishing. Wind strenght and direction often determine where you can fish and where fish might be holding. Although high pressure is usually good for fishing, steep pressure changes often trigger feeding frenzies and are great times for fishing. Of course temperature has also a strong effect on fishing and comfort on the water. So make sure to cross check the weather forecast with the solunar fishing times to determine the best times to go fishing.

Fishing Overview Newbury

The Newbury area is one of the UK’s most celebrated coarse and specimen fishing hubs, with the River Kennet, the Kennet & Avon Canal and numerous restored gravel pits giving anglers a mix of flowing water and stillwater sport. The Kennet here is a classic chalkstream-influenced river: clear, with ranunculus beds, gravel runs and deep holes that hold barbel, chub, roach and game fish. The canal and adjacent lakes broaden the options with reliable fishing for carp, tench, bream and predators.

Seasonal patterns are pronounced on the Kennet. In early spring, rising temperatures wake up grayling, chub and perch; small natural baits such as maggots, casters and worms score well on light feeder or stick float tactics. As late spring and summer arrive, barbel and chub become the prime targets in faster glides and below weirs. Warm, coloured water after rain is ideal for barbel on meat or pellets, while clear low flows in mid‑summer often demand stealth, smaller hooks and refined line.

Autumn around Newbury is prime time for specimen fishing. Barbel feed confidently into dusk, roach show in steady flows, and predators like perch and pike move into the edges and marinas of the Kennet & Avon Canal and slower river sections. In winter, many anglers switch to trotting for grayling and roach on milder days, or targeting pike on deadbaits in deeper canal pounds and stillwaters. Cold, clear conditions favour mobile, scaled‑down approaches and careful swim choice over heavy baiting.

The habitat mix is a big strength locally. On the Kennet, look for crease lines where fast and slow water meet, deeper outside bends, undercut banks, and gravel runs below weed beds. These hold barbel, chub and roach. The Kennet & Avon Canal around Newbury has boat channels, turning bays and moorings that create depth changes and cover for bream, skimmers, perch and zander. Nearby gravel pits and club lakes vary from shallow, weedy tench waters to large, clear pits with big carp and open-water bream shoals.

Common techniques on the river include feeder fishing with groundbait and maggots for mixed bags, or heavier cage feeders with pellets for barbel. Trotting a stick or Avon float down the Kennet is deadly for dace, roach and grayling; use a bulk and droppers shotting pattern to control the bait in the flow. For barbel, robust tackle is essential: a powerful barbel rod, abrasion‑resistant mainline and strong hooklengths, with pellets, boilies or luncheon meat fished on a simple running lead or helicopter rig.

On the Kennet & Avon Canal, pole or waggler tactics with groundbait and pinkies are effective for nets of roach, perch and skimmers. In colder months, scaled‑down hooks and fine lines become important. Lure fishing with small soft plastics or spinners works well along the towpath for perch and pike, focusing on moored boats, bridge pilings and any cover. Stillwaters around Newbury favour method feeders, PVA bag carp tactics, and early‑morning float fishing in the margins for tench in late spring and summer.

Across all venues, quiet approach, minimal disturbance and careful plumbing of the depth pay off. Lightly pre‑baiting chosen spots on the river or canal over a few hours, then rotating between them, often produces more consistent results than sitting on a single swim. With varied waters and strong fish populations, Newbury rewards anglers who match their tactics to the rich mix of habitats on offer.
