Tough going on the third round of the Sensas Commercial House League.
With the river still being very clear and slow flowing most anglers really struggled for bites with only 7 weights over 5 lbs. There were even blanks recorded. Dave Haines won the match for BTM services from peg 77.
The UTWL practice match was split between two stretches, Barton Farm and Staverton, but it was the anglers pegged at Barton Farm who had the better sport and consequently filled the top 8 places

With Marukyu starting to take the bait market by storm, Joe Carass decided to take a look at one of its most popular products… krill!Marukyu is still a fairly new name on the UK bait market. The baits are clearly very good but, never one to follow fads, I must admit to being fairly sceptical about them at first. I mean, I have always been of the opinion that as long as the bait we use is fresh and good quality and the fish are in front of you, then you will catch them! My opinion has changed somewhat of late, however, after going on several features with Jamie Masson, and also noticing the continuing list of results that Andy Kinder has been getting. With both of these top anglers using Marukyu products I felt I really needed to take a closer look.
Lots of action throughout the week at Lincolnshire's Westwood.

Renowned for their quality, Tri-Cast rods are among some of the finest available. Editor Alex Bones takes a close look at three of their latest 14ft and 15ft models. Recognising the increase in demand for long float rods on river venues like the Avon, Severn, Trent and Wye, Rochdale-based Tri-Cast has had these three rods in development for just over 12 months. Designed primarily for stick float and waggler work on rivers, they are nothing short of a pleasure.
Great start to the Fossdyke league with plenty of roach and big perch showing.
Harrisons Tackle Fossdyke league39 FishedWith the previously unfished Woodcocks length being pegged alongside the more commonly used section at Odder, nobody was sure what to expect for the first round of this popular series. As it turned out fish showed up right along the match length in what turned out to be one of the best matches the Fossdyke has seen in recent years. The winner on the day was Maver Bait Tech rod Chris Jenkinson.
