The river had a little more water on after some rain, but not really enough to turn it on. There were a few showers, which made it quite cool for the time of the year. Fishing peg 18 Graham Jones ran out best rod on the day with a weight of 32 Lbs exactly. This consisted of 4 barbel and a chub taken on pellet. In second spot was Ken Arnold fishing a peg he knows well - 75 - and returned 26 Lbs exactly, 4 barbel taken on meat in the last 2 hours. In third place was Brian (I need an early draw!) Tinman who put 26 Lbs exactly on the scales from peg 6. There were some reasonable backing weights, considering the conditions, but once some of this rotten August weather puts a little more water into the river, it will produce some better returns. Ken Arnold is looking ominously like running away with yet another league win as he now has 32 points, but Graham Jones is giving him a run for his money, now on 27. In third place, it's good to see Colin Morris on 21 points. Who knows, with 6 more matches to go, the whole thing could turn around dramatically. Well, we can live in hope!
