A great day for the 23 expectant anglers at Decoy lakes on the Elm strip lake, just a shame the venue had possibly not recovered from the big match held there the day before. Lovely warm day with light winds and only a very quick rain shower.
A new name on the Doxham Rosebowl will be Phil Price who finished a good few fish ahead of second place to win with 94lb and 10 oz. Phil fished peg number 5 with dead red maggots on the pole down the margins. Second place went to Colin Fisher on the peg almost opposite with 82lb 13 oz. Colin fishing from peg 23 fished maggot over hemp on the pole down the margins. Third Place to Mike Moseley from peg 14 down the opposite end of the lake, fishing pellet waggler and method feeder on 8mm pellets.
Section Wins for Ray Torrington, Kevin Crompton, Peter Wray and Brian Johnson.
