To say the least the match fishing here isn't great, - much better for pleasure fishing. However, there is something about the environment of the Clamp that I enjoy.
End corner peg 15 for me today (pictured). Although it was fairly clear of the film I really wanted to be from the middle to the top end. Very dour looking peg. Got worse to find it was only 30 inches deep. I cleared some of the left side out to get to the tree stump where I was told some F1's might be. In doing so spotted a strange pipe about 10 inches diameter with 3/4 inches diameter holes around it - it was made of either concrete of cast iron - very puzzling.
Started on the Ronnie rig down to the left over GB and LR's and second put in hooked a decent fish which snagged me. three more puts in and each time snagged up, so abandoned. Had various lines all with GB and LR's (all the baits I had except a few worms), even one at 11.5 metres to the imitation island! The upshot was could only catch just out of the silt with the short Ronnie rig. Had small Perch, Ronnie's and Skimmers. Decided that I was going to need some bigger fish so spent half the match trying to catch a Carp down the left side but further out to avoid the snags on worm over worm and DR's. Surprising I didn't have any indications.
The match was won by Tony Welsby (pictured with the silvers winner) with 7 lb 1 oz from peg 14. Tony fished a tidy match catching mostly with Pinky hook bait over kindered feed with some micro. His catch included some dumpy Crucians. Well done matey.
The silvers was picked up by Tony Cook with 5 lb 6 oz from peg 5. Tony caught on white maggot over hemp. Well done matey.
