This match really was a grueller, with a cold easterly wind plus low and clear water conditions made this really tough for most anglers. The top three weights came from the first three swims downstream of Hartlake Bridge, these being the most frequently fished by pleasure anglers. Austin Battell made good use of his comfortable out of the wind spot, fishing the waggler right across and using maggot as hook bait. Although he lost a couple of good Chub fishing light, Austin did manage to land a 2lb fish of the day Chub plus a few Chublets and Roach for a 6lb 4oz winning total. Second spot in the second swim went to Dave Williams who managed 2lb 5oz on the maggot feeder and third spot, fishing nearest to the bridge went to Stuart Cottingham with 1lb 12oz.
