Nathans of Derby silverfish league round 6

I know, I'm twelfth on 51lb.

Re: willesley lake

I fished the open yesterday, really enjoyed it. The lads who fish it regularly said the middle of the deeps would be best as there were fewer skimmers at either end. I drew the eel trap peg which was at the end nearest the car park , so not the best. There were two 32lb weights in the favoured area ...

Re: Brian Hull Steps Down

a shame Brian is stepping down, but as a fellow organiser, albeit not done it as long, I can understand his feelings. maybe it's time for the moaners to step up and show how perfectly they could run matches. either put up or shut up.
