Leicester's Pete tops the Division Two National. To catch 100lb from a natural venue in England is an achievement; to win a National Championship with over 50 kilos of bream is nothing short of incredible – but this is exactly what Pete Marlow achieved in Saturday's Division Two National on the Great Ouse. In the team stakes, it was Devizes Angling Association that topped a strong field, with a 243-point score – beating Garbolino Blackhorse and Maver Bait Tech by just a single point. The team, made up of G Williamson, N Baker, K Rowles, A McTiffin, J Carty, N Franks, A Carter, R Guy, D Clapton and R Kepner averaged 24 points out of a possible 33.

Ministers urged to ban domestic use of hazardous chemical. Following the identification of the pesticide chlorpyrifos as the cause of last month's pollution of a 15km section of the upper Kennet between Marlborough and Hungerford, the Angling Trust has written to Environment minister Richard Benyon calling for the chemical to be withdrawn from domestic use. It has been estimated that as little as half a cupful poured down a local drain and entering the river via the Marlborough Sewage treatment works resulted in the almost complete wipe-out of macro invertebrates in the affected stretch. Chlorpyrifos is regularly used on lawns and golf courses and to tackle insects on crops and some soft fruits.

Tom Scholey ponders why some match anglers are so secretive. I’m sure we have all heard the often wildly inflated stories before about anglers who are cleaning up at their local water on a new fangled ‘secret’ rig or ‘secret’ bait. And we all probably know somebody who is reluctant to tell you what or how they fish, or about certain aspects of it. Without a doubt, some anglers revel in secrecy, and like to think that they have their own special edges that sneak them a few extra fish here and there.
