Summary
A great Silver Fish Festival with good bream to 4lbs, skimmers and loads of roach caught.
Some anglers targeting the roach on the long pole and weighing in roach catches between 30-40lbs.
Lots of skimmers and bream caught on the pole and excellent tip fishing, producing skimmers and good bream.
The weather was not faverable. Hard frosts, cold wind and temperatures through the day were little more than 6C. So in all, fishing was excellent despite the very cold conditions.

4th Steve Seabourne 9 points (weight)
