Some excellent weights still being caught with matches producing well though anglers waiting longer for bites as the water temperature dropped as colder weather hit us, cold rain also has not helped however if you work hard to find the warmer thermal layers you will catch well, some anglers bring a thermometer to find the thermal layers to find out where fish are sitting in the water to improve catch rates
Matches still producing good weights with Mike Babbs really doing well on Angel pellets 9 meters out feeding angel pellet.
