ODAA open Thames - Medley and Folly

[John Beesley]

39 anglers fished the Oxford and District open on the Thames at Medley and Folly. With the river carry a bit of colour and some much needed flow it was expected that the river would through up some good weights. It was however a tale of 2 venues where Medley, despite a nasty easterly wind, fished brilliantly but Folly fished really hard.

2nd Arnold Liaukevicius – Drennan Oxford – 16lb 14oz. Arnold drew on the green bank on Medley and had roach and perch on 13m pole and caster over groundbait feed.
