With the temperature failing to get much above freezing all day it was no surprise to see the weights not quite as good as they have been recently.

Top rod from peg one was David Norville with 8lb 5oz, very respectable considering the conditions. He caught roach on the pole with maggot over groundbait.

Before the colder weather arrived the midweek Ramsey & District Angling Society match on the Old Nene at Ramsey St Mary’s produced some cracking sport topped by John Locke with 23lb 13oz.
