Although the river looked absolutely spot on for this match, the conditions were grim with gusts of wind to nearly 60mph along with cold showers. Ditch Howard drew the favoured swim where the fish had been shoaling up recently. With some shelter to help presentation, Ditch managed a nice net of skimmers for a total of 6lb 14oz and this season’s trophy. In second spot with a skimmer and some nice plump Roach was Larry Howard who caught all his fish on bread. In third spot and fishing the waggler, was Steve Twort with some small Roach and a skimmer for 1lb 11oz.

1st – Ditch Howard    6lb 14oz            2nd –  Larry Howard    2lb 13oz
