JULY - SUMMER MATCHES.

 

Bruce Turnbull has been continuing his quest for a new PB Tench on a local water. His search goes on but in the meantime he is catching some stunning fish like the one pictured above.

The region's Summer league continues and round two of this year's series was won once again by Chris Graham with a winning weight of 4lb 12 ozs. Steve Sandiford took second spot and Paul Patterson third. So the table after round two shows Chris well ahead of  second place Mike Bell with Steve Sandiford moving into third place. Round three of the four match series will take place at the end of August. Prior to this the annual Golden Maggot match will be fished on one of our local waters.
