On a windy, dry and sunny day with the river looking a nice colour and at a more normal level, things were looking good for this 7th round of our Summer League. Canny anglers Jason Owen, Paul Stych and Tony Kilmister opted to fish the float and finished in 1st, 2nd and 3rd spots as a result. Bringing up 4th place was Dennis Carr- well done Dennis mate! Jason fished peg 88 for a weight of 22 Lbs 10 Ozs, Paul had 13 Lbs 4 Ozs and Tony exactly 10 Lbs, narrowly pushing Dennis into 4th place with 9 Lbs 10 Ozs. This was a better result than those of late, so it looks like sport is improving. The 8th round is a float only, so should sort the men from the boys and with weights like last time, there's everything to fish for. Click on the link for the full result.

The river had been up over 7 feet in the days leading up to the 6th round of the Summer League 2020, but by 30th August had run off nicely and was still dropping. However, the fish didn't seem to know the rules, as weights were low at the end of the day. Steve Oliver showed us the way home with a net of two barbel for 17 Lbs from peg 25 - and he lost another two! Second, with just 6 Lbs 2 Ozs from peg 3, was Ken Arnold and third from peg 118 with a weight of 5 Lbs 8 Ozs was Paul Stych. This means that with 4 matches to go, Paul Harrison now has a nine point lead on 37 over 2nd placed Clive Biddulph on 28 and there is a 3 way tie for third with Jason Owen, Paul Stych and Ken Arnold on 27 points.

Don't forget, it's the Big One tomorrow and pools are doubled at £20 in the usual envelope please.

Member Vince Pickup always fancied catching a barbel on float tackle. So, he tried his luck on peg 102 this week with just a 4 Lbs hook length under a stick float with a small piece of meat loaded to a size 14 hook. Little did he realise that the fish usually run big here and he connected with this beautiful fish which Vince says weighed in "...at just over 10 Lbs!" Well, probably like many more members out there, I'm still waiting to land my first double figure barbel, so I'm extremely envious of Vince having managed it on very light float tackle! Well done mate, you thoroughly deserved that fish.
