River Isle – Crown Winter League – 23rd November 2008
Round three of the Crown league saw a poor turnout of only seven anglers, possibly due to the crap weather, it was cold with a nasty gusty wind. The golden peg was pulled out and it was peg 18 so that was safe! After a fairly poor day yesterday I was hoping for a good peg and when I drew out the …
River Yeo – Open – 22nd November 2008
With promises of lots of small fish on the crowquill, I was looking forward to this one. I hadn’t fished the Yeo (or the crowquill) for years.

There were loads of good pegs in, …
