The colour had dropped out of the river over the last few days and even at high water there was only 2 foot of clarity on my colourometer a few weeks back it was 10inches! Still, with a nice ebb tide all day the prospects were always good for a few roach to show.
I managed to draw the upstream end peg which was 23 on the day and 4 weeks ago it would have been THE peg to draw for a good weight of skimmers. I had 14lb 6oz of feeder caught roach and should have fished the pole.~sick
Some of the 46 people fishing got it right though :-
1st Malcolm Runacres on peg 141 had 44lb 1oz of prime roach on the pole and caster over groundbait at 10 metres.
2nd Brian Gooch on peg 106 had 38lb 12oz of roach on the pole.
3rd Tony Anderson on peg 62 also fished the pole for 36lb 5oz of roach
4th Rodney Finch on peg 107 had 32lb 1oz on peg 107
Sections
23 to 26 Mick Bartrum who worked all night for the Post Office and only just made the draw - pole fished roach for 20lb 9oz
47 to 51 Wayne Anderson 28lb 13oz
52 to 57 Jeanette Halliday 18lb 8oz
62 to 67 Martin Caldecote 23lb 7oz
68 to 78 Keith Ford 17lb 7oz
86 to 90 Mark Pollard 19lb 4oz
92 to 97 Mick Mirgaux 22lb 6oz - on the tip and had half skimmers and half roach
105 to 109 Doug Bottley 23lb 3oz
140 to 144 Reggie Bryanton 28lb 3oz
All of the weights shown above except for Micky Mirgaux's were roach on the pole.
The league is still very close and including today's weights only 8oz seperates first and second and only 10lb between 1st and 4th which over the 8 counting matches is incredible
1st Nick Larkin - 240lb 9oz having only added ounces today
2nd Robert Hubbard - 240lb 1oz increased his weight by 10lb
3rd Brian Gooch - is still 3rd and increased his overall weight by 16lb to 234lb 8oz
4th Tony Anderson 226lb has got into the top 4 knocking out both Andy Moss and Steve Clarke.
Next week is the last match in the series so there is all to play for but to add to their scores both the top 2 need over 20lb.

Update - by Sunday the little colour there was Saturday had gone and I was told that there was 3 foot of clarity and it fished really hard. Nick Larkin won the match with over 20lb of roach on the pole but weights were generally well down from Saturdays results. I don't have all the detail but I got this from the Anglers Mail web site.
Nick Larkin (Nisa Feeders) 26-10-0, peg 55 above Beauchamp Arms, roach nuggets of groundbait, caster, 9m pole; Simon Newman (Daiwa Angling Direct Blue) 26-9-0; Danny Grimsey (Lewis Anglers World) 24-10-0; Robert Hubbard (Daiwa Angling Direct Black) 18-6-0; Steve Clark (Lewis Anglers World) 17-2-0; Ade Hindry (Daiwa Angling Direct Gold) 16-4-0.
Just shows how the river can change at this time of the year! These weights do not count in the Saturday series.
