The Welland appeared to be in fine form with many catches over 20lb being taken by pleasure anglers during the Christmas and New year break, so it was perfectly set for the Second Round of the DILS cup and the Several Fisheries Trophy.
Relatively mild conditions and light winds made the river look to be in perfect form.
But, that’s just angling talk and the day was far from the predicted easy session. It was Ray Torrington that managed to make the best of the changed form weighing in dead on 10lbs.
Fishing mostly with Punched bread and feeding liquidised bread a third to half way across from peg number 9, catching mainly Roach.
