It was Barneys Pairs on the Isle and Dillington on Sunday. I got drawn an absolute flier on the day in the shape of peg 14, the famous Tank Traps swim. I’ve caught all day and my 75 chublets, dace and roach went 27lb 1oz which was the top weight on the day. It’s also my best ever match weight on the Isle. Unfortunately, the pond fished really hard and my partner struggled and we ended up one of of the frame. Thanks to ND Photography for some of the photos.

For the final match of our winter league yesterday, the weather let us have both barrels with strong winds and rain all day. By the end the river was unfishable and there were only a handful of anglers left at their pegs. I managed a section win with 1lb 14oz of roach, dace, minnows and gudgeon. Well done to Nick Payne for winning with 10lb 3oz of perch.

It was the penultimate round of the Ilminster AA Winter League (sponsored by Haines Angling and Allen & Woodard Building Contractors) on the Isle on Sunday. The river was low and clear and it has fished hard for most. I had a lovely day catching nine chub, three gudgeon and a few minnows for 24lb 14oz and my first win of the year.

It was round five of the Ilminster AA Winter League (sponsored by Haines Angling and Allen & Woodard Building Contractors) on the Isle on Sunday. The river was up and coloured but it has fished hard. I drew a great peg and got off to a decent start but it faded and some pike trouble didn’t help. I ended up winning the section with 2lb 12oz of roach, chub, dace and gudgeon.
