June 23rd
67 fished, a bit more colour in the river linked to a rising tide for most of the match produced slightly better weights than the previous Saturday.

1st Graeme Bink, Angling Direct Suffolk 45lb 12oz from peg 144 at Langley, bream and skimmers on feeder, worm, caster and maggot
2nd Ian Cochrane, Great Yarmouth, 41lb 8oz from peg 143 at Langley, bream and skimmers on feeder, worm, caster and maggot
3rd Mick Mirgaux, Deben, 38lb 1oz from peg 119 at Sluice Bend, bream and skimmers on feeder, worm, caster and maggot
4th Sean James, Dukes, 33lb 6oz from peg 142
5th Chris Kemp, Gt Yarmouth, 32lb 8 oz from peg 117
6th Bob Wessells, Bait Tech, 31lb 4 oz.

June 30th
71 anglers fished

1st Mike Wittaker on peg 22 with 80lb 12oz
2nd Mark Pollard, the local one, peg 23 with 60lb 2oz
3rd Eddie Davison peg 61 with 54lb 12oz
4th Terry Smith peg 63 with 45lb 11oz
5th Kevin Paynter peg 34lb 0oz
6th Doug Bottley 31lb 5oz

The section weights are also impressive
22 to 30 29lb 8oz
43 to 53 25lb 3oz
61 to 69 23lb 0oz
70 to 79 30lb 0oz
86 to 93 20lb 8oz
94 to 103 28lb 4oz
111 to 118 28lb 8oz
136 to 144 29lb 4oz

So as can be seen the fish are reasonably well spread throughout the match length but an end peg is a definite advantage. The bream are mostly from 6oz to 2 1/2lb but go to 6lb so there are of bites. The roach are still there but you need bream to win.

Cracking report

you won't see better weights than these off river matches incredible almost better than holland

chrisV the weights are unbelievable are they all feeder weights or are some pole weights

I believe Tony Gibbons had 20lb + of roach in the 90's on Saturday but THE Mark Pollard (we have two of them fishing the series the other is called Chunky) only managed 16lb off the same section.  So there are plenty to go at, it just depends what size you get as to what the weight is.  If the river fishes like last year, later in the year there will be 30 to 40lb weights of roach, even 50's on a pleasure session if you pick the right peg on the right day.

chrisV  the weights are unbelievable are they all feeder weights or are some pole weights

All the bream weights come on the feeder. Very few are hooked on the pole and they rarely come out on roach tackle in that flow. There was a Browning guy on peg 62 last Saturday fishing for roach on the pole, I don't know what he weighed but he had 54lb on 61 and and 45lb on 63. I presume that he enjoyed his day but what a battering ! It has happened to me the other way around this year in two matches. I only fish for bream at this time of the year on the tip and had 28lb of roach with the odd small skimmer next to me on the pole feeder one day.

The clever guys like Nick Larkin and Chris V fish the tip, snare a lump or two then top up with roach on the pole if it isn't happening. I tend to stick to the feeder and curse the luck of the draw

Hi Richard,

I drew 141 on saturday, thought I`d be on a few fish but it was quite poor around that area. Both end pegs 136 and 144 caught skimmers 31lb & 28lb rest of us struggled. I had 2 skimmers and two bootlaces for about 2lb in the first hour then fished the pole for the remainder to finish up with just under ten pound. unfortunately although the weights look good, until the roach start to show properly anyone in the middle of sections hasn`t got a chance.
Still think its the best river venue in the country though!
I guess we`re spolit, but the previous week I went to Evesham and fished both days. What a karzey that place is, lovely setting, great scenery, easy parking behind pegs, butboy is the fishing hard! Why it sells out each week is beyond me. Oh and by the way drew next to CWH on the saturday.

Sounds an amzing river that I would love to fish, just a shame its a five hour journey for me :( otherwise I would be on there every week. I will have to do with the river weaver for now although its more like a big canal than a river and 10lb is a good weight.

while this colour is around the river soar is fishing its head off with skimmers and bream not quite theses weights but 30lb were common in two different club matches

Crap where i live ......

14oz framed on the bridgy the other week ! ::)

Tidal trent champs this weekend...matches were planned around high tides...but looks like theres gonna be more extra in than we bargained for.

Fingers crossed eh!.... and lets see what develops 

Yes well done Mullarkey
Another dnw for me !!!!
I must admit the novelty is wearing off me aswell mate !!!!!
I am afraid 81 pegs is too much, 60 is ample !!
The trouble is too many matches on a length of river where not all the fish have spawned. The constant low water temp will not help the perch, tench, eels and roach, hence the hard area's. The river still has not hit summer level since the season started and with the forcast for more rain I can only see Bream winning again with the weekend rest (apart from pleasure fishing).
I suppose a few will be on a few !!!!!!!!
Did a aa route planner for the Yare. 172 miles but because it's cross country it's 3 hours and 36 minutes. I think it's just too much even for me !!!
I would love to fish a sat/sun if anybody knows of 2 events (is there a bure/ yare weekend ?) together as I would stop down. Anybody know owt ???

River Tees fishing it`s nuts off also, 74lb, 64lb, 53lb down to last in money 40lb, with 30lb just to win your section

CWH

you might be interested in the broads festival on the thurne and bure plus the broads champs. The festival is a two dayer on 3rd and 4th october (weds & thurs) with the broads champs on the 6th (sat). Good fishing in a lovely part of the world. That`ll help you get evesham out of your system.

p.s. i`m just about to leave for the tidal trent champs. Let you know how i get on.

mullarkey we ain't half had some rain here mate you'd better take some extra lead

Mullarkey that sounds great I will defo get back to you about those matches, many thanks
