Report
Ten anglers caught a total of 40 fish (a full house) at John O'Gaunt on a very fine Saturday. Top fish of 7lbs fell to Bob Jones whilst Colin Mould came along to show us how it's done with a return of 17lb 5oz. Most fish fell to various damsel nymph patterns although, those who dared to fish dry were rewarded with some sport off the top.

The fishery produced its larger fish from the large pool which was fairly coloured, in the other pool the water was again gin clear with the fish very apparently showing breeding behaviour round the inlet pipework. Subsequent post mortems showed the fish to be other than triploid.

The weather was fine with an occasional slight overcast with the wind light to start with but strengthening in the afternoon though remaining dry throughout.

A pleasant day was had by all to take away the 'Chew Blues' from the previous weekend. Full scores are listed above.
