To day saw some of the mid week stalwarts along with a few new faces entertain the crowds at Springwood Fisheries Derbyshire with a feast of banter and melodic singing because the fishing was a bit hard, following the usual pleasantries and general mickey taking, the draw was made and despite being early it still did not prevent us tackling up in the rain which seemed to start as soon as we left the comfort of the clubhouse, although not heavy it was enough to see most settling in under an umbrella, a few appeared to find the odd early fish but it was soon apparent that it was not going to be a bagging day, and that was the theme for the day nick a fish or two and then settle in for the next one, despite one absolutely heavy down poor and the odd flash of lightening spirits remained high and the match actually finished in sunshine.
On a personal note whilst I used my brolly to set up this was soon discarded and the new Talk Angling Fleece was tested to see how waterproof it was and came through with flying colours, albeit I was a bit damp round the shirt collar and the forearms soaked up a bit of juice the rest of me remained dry. So if you are on the lookout for a new fleece I can recommend the TA one from Quality Clothing.

The results were as follows

1st KPnuts 28-2-0 Carp on ledgered bread
2nd Weldec 19-2-0 Carp on the worm
3rd Brian G 13-12-0 Carp pellet and caster
4th Mastic Man 13-4-0
5th Cheekybrat 10-0-0
6th Kingfisher 9-2-0
7th Big Knob 4-10-0
8th Wormaster 4-2-0
9th Larry Teepot 1-0-0
10th Rikki-M 0-10-0

Many thanks to all who attended and a warm welcome to those who were fishing their first TA match with a big thank you to Larry Teepot for organising the day.
