River Isle – Open – 14th February 2010
I woke up to find we hadn’t had a frost and the temperature wasn’t too bad so hopefully we’d be in for a good day for once! At the draw there was a really poor turnout of only 12 anglers which I suppose reflects how poor the fishing has been. I was surprised that Rob hadn’t pegged 125 or peg 25, both …
River Isle – Crown Winter League – 7th February 2010
Heavy rain on Friday and I was worried it might be off (wish it was now! but more of that later), no more wet stuff and the river looked perfect when I went over it on my way to the draw with a tinge of colour and pace. Once again there were only ten of us and Robin had put some new …
River Isle – V.E.S. Precision League – 31st January 2010
Going into this match I was lying in second place in the league and keen to do well again, there had been a wicked frost overnight and I was hoping it wouldn’t affect the fishing too much.

River Isle – Crown Winter League – 24th January 2010

A frost the night before probably hadn’t helped matters but I was still confident it would fish well. At the draw there was another depleted turnout of ten and that …
Dillington Pond – V.E.S. Precision League – 17th January 2010
After not fishing last week due to the extreme weather, I couldn’t wait to get on the river this week. There had been some rain on the Saturday but I wasn’t too concerned and as I drove over the Isle I could see it was up and coloured but to me it looked nice and would only get better as the day …
River Isle – Barney Crockett Pairs Open – 3rd January 2010
After not fishing since the 20th Dec I was well up for this one although once again it was bitterly cold and the fishing could be hard going. I’ve got a good record in this event after being the top individual last year and coming third with my partner Justin Charles. Justin couldn’t fish this year so I was with Tiverton’s Bruce …
