it was all getting too much 
so i thought especially with the traveling anglers and well as the die hards i wanted them to have the best chance of catching a few fish just to show what the canal can be capableso Brian and myself thought that the Quorns waters had received quite a lot of pressure over the last couple of weeks and thought the loughborough waters would be a better option with the added section of staples a section we rarely use because boats
but with the help of the canal trust regular checks have been carried out on boat numbers and the amount of time they are spending mooring where they shouldn't be and as you can see from the picture there must of been a fare few boats that shouldnt of been moored there
so off i went and spray painted 12 numbers on the morning only to find some pleasure anglers just starting
lucky for me they said they would move to below the bridge without wetting a lineback to the pub from there and a quick head count just to see if we could drop afew pegs out needless to say this is almost impossible as anglers turn up at all times
so staples swingbridge swingbridge boats and below bishops meadow lock went in and as it happened it looked like we might get the 50 mark :( 
but as the draw took place some with partners missing and some that just didn't turn up meant quite a few empty pegs and gaps a long with pegs i could of left out like mine at the end it looked around 46 anglers fished with 55 pegs in the hat
still the good news it fished really well in parts condititions were good with a slight colour in the canal and mild temps apart the frost on the morning of -2
Well what a cracking league!!!
