21 members fished the first competition of 2025

Good to see a few new faces

Nathan has drawn peg 12 and made no mistakes fishing punched bread on the pole into the reed beds, to score his first victory of the year.

Les has taken second place on peg 18, bread on the lead his chosen technique.

Kevin has put together a lovely net of silvers and a single carp on peg 9 for third.

The high pressure and cold weather coupled with the very clear water meant that the fishing proved extremely tough for some, the shallower section was won with a mere 4oz !
