I dont know mate....everytime i say its going to be crap it fishes well...there was a lot of colour in it yesterday but its always a roach match, there might be the odd skimmer caught but not enough to start feeding for them.

Lee, are you going to risk putting in 160 to 166 again with all that rain? I personally would because thats the only time they havent produced but its a tough call. Similarly, someone said you may be putting in 1 to 20 in the semi. Has that ever seen B&J?

It will be pegged the same as in the last round two weeks ago with the possible exception that i will put in peg 37 and leave out peg 84A, all pegs will move up 1 place.

I will be using pegs 1 to 20 in the practice matches,i have got to get all the reeds out from the inside, i had a walk up there on Sunday and there a lot of roach topping, this might be why the pegs between 25 and 29 have not produced this year. I think the fish are still in the shallower section, it has not seen any worm and joker, in the semi i will be using the best 10 sections of 9.
