4th Mick Hargreaves  Little Lever AS  4.7.0   peg 353


Fished from Edge Lane Bridge to halfway up the gas works stretford.The canal was tanking through after very heavy overnight rain but fished reasonably well considering the weather and prolonged winter apart from one section on the gas works.Rod caught roach small skimmers and half a dozen late hybrids on caster,i caught 120 fish 2 skimmers,roach,rudd & small hybrids all on bread.

Think you'll find most commercials fished badly this weekend too (unless you drew on a few like me on saturday ).

Hail, snow, strong winds and rain aint exactly good. Its the London marathon today - wasnt there a heatwave this time last year???

Well done Dodge

351...thats the best peg on the Bridgy!

The Bridgy fished its nuts off today ::) for the first 30 minutes

What a day!!! a regatta of 62 boats and barges (a Tri-Cast Highfield anorak counted them) had their annual outing today on our match length aswell as a university rowing practice which resulted in utter chaos for 4 and a half hours together with constant rain and very cold temperatures this was probably the most miserable match i have fished in a long time !!

2nd R Gardom Sensas Trafford Angling 1.14.8 peg 204
3rd A Morris Lower Kersal AC 1.10.8 peg 206
