Woodhouse.All pegs were to the left of the bridge! Both guys either side of me were broken by big fish,probably carp! Those in the frame were the only ones who caught over 2lb. With 1.14oz I beat the guy on one side of me and was beaten by the guy on the other side.I didn't get one bonus fish just gudgeon,perch and ruffe.Nobody in the pound I was pegged got a roach.There were more boats than in Henley regatta!!

With 1.14oz I beat the guy on one side of me and was beaten by the guy on the other side who had a perch about1.5 lbs.I didn't get one bonus fish just gudgeon,perch and ruffe.Nobody in the pound I was pegged got a roach.There were more boats than in Henley regatta!!

So they put all the pegs in the short pounds?

Yes there were only 15 of us, but I had quite walk to a fairly wide pound! Like to fish it again though!!

The pegs you fished are good for small fish in the winter for small fish,odd bream in the bottom pound,but are crap when you are still having a lot of boat traffic because they dont stop still all day..

You would have been better going to the right,there are more bonus fish.
