21lb of dace takes the top spot on a low river Isle.
Ilminster AA, 23/10/11River Isle, Somerset7 fished Round two of the Royal Oak winter league saw the anglers on the Isle again but the river desperately needs rain. The weights were once again decent and everyone caught with lots of small dace and chublets featuring in catches. Justin Charles had a cracking day catching 21lb of mainly dace on the stick float and caster from peg 126 (Barney's Bend) at Isle Brewers.
The strong field was greeted with a strong and variable wind which made presentation difficult at times at the Monmouth fishery. Welsh Federation of Coarse Anglers Veterans National ChampionshipRed Hill Fishery, Monmouth | Number of pegs/anglers: 40The winner on the Day was local man, Tony Summers (Cardiff Nomads) with an excellent weight of 91lb 8oz taken from the middle of the lake on 14 metre pole. Tony finished almost 20lbs clear of the field and is enjoying a good run of results at the prolific Red Hill venue. Earlier in the month he had finished runner-up in the Senior Welsh National.
Poor weights blamed on bad river conditions, but results were still close.
A worrying red tinge has returned to haunt the Severn once again which was thought to be part of the blame for the poor results last year and once again the weights were low. Top spot on the day went to Shrewsbury rod Guy Jones, drawn on county ground peg 25 he adopted a stickfloat approach two rods out, feeding and fishing bronze maggot on the hook he had two large perch and some bits for a 6-9-0 winning weight. Five pegs above the winner on spinny peg 20 was Total Angling’s Rob Brennan who decided on a groundbait and pole to hand attack which resulted in one good chub and some small dace to put 6-3-0 on the scales for second overall.
