Fifth round of the Wye League
The fifth round of the Wye League saw tricky conditions and some low weights as a result. The night before the match the river rose 8feet and as anglers reached their pegs the water in front of them was dropping and heavily coloured. The best weight on the day went to Wizrds team member Danny Baker who amassed 38lb 4oz from peg 39. This was over double the weight of the second placed Hady Whittle who weighed in 14lb 7oz from peg 76.
