Hebditch’s Pond – Barney’s Pairs Open – 28th February 2016
Over the years we’ve used several venues in a variety of combinations for Barney’s Pairs Match and this year we were using a new one, Hebditchs’s pond for one section along with Dillington for the other. I was a little disappointed we weren’t using the river as Barney used to love the Isle but both venues have been fishing well and everybody should get plenty …
River Isle – V.E.S. Precision League 7 – 21st February 2016
The final V.E.S. Precision match arrived and as the rain had held off we were actually able to get back on the river.

Dillington Pond – Royal Oak Winter League 7 – 31st January 2016
I was really hoping we’d be back on the river this week but as soon as I arrived at the draw and saw Scotty’s van, I knew we’d be on the pond as he won’t fish the river! After breakfast we all drove out the pond to do the draw so Rob could see which pegs were available, there were no other anglers …
