Cashmores MG - HM Match 9- Cuttle Brook R.Trent

MrV · #1

This was a re-arranged match from 4 weeks ago when the river was in flood. Nice to see TK back on the bank with the lads

Arrived to find the gate locked. Quick call to Burton angling and was told we would have to collect one from the shop

. While we were debating who should drive back to Burton, the bailiff arrived and eventually let us in. Already a few pegs taken by Night anglers, so we had great difficulty finding 13 pegs to use..

Thanks to Yamo and Dead peg for walking the whole length to eventually come up with 10 fishable pegs, leaving us 3 short. Eventually, we managed to hack out 3 more proper overgrown pegs before we could do the draw, and kicked off an hour later than planned

Thanks to all the lads for being patient.

Fishing wise, it was ok, and everyone had a few. For my match I set off like a train, then derailed and just kept picking up odd fish for the last few hours. But any days fishing is better than work or shopping

Well done to our winner, who has not had the best of results lately, but has stuck at it.

What a great stretch of river, pristine fish and lots of them, just a pity the controlling club cant get a strimmer down there to look after the place and sort some pegs out. I ended up standing in thick mud for most of the match trying to avoid the overhead trees and having a mink (baby seal) dart in and out of the water.

I think everyone enjoyed it overall, nice to be back on a river after the deluge of rain that seems to ruin almost every river match we plan to fish.

Like MR v after a slow 10mins i had a brill half hour with fish after fish but they backed off and picked up occasional fish thereafter.

Thanks to Jona for help pegging out, and thanks also to the guys for weighing in

Finally a massive well done to Bobby D, chuffed for him
