Dillington Pond – V.E.S. Precision League – 29th November 2009

As I drove to the draw I went over the Isle at Donyatt and the river looked awful so I knew we’d be on the pond. There were twelve of us fishing and I drew peg 10, which put me on the side with the wind in my face – great. Also my peg was between two trees and as I’d decided
