ONE cast and it was game, set and match in favour of Nick Daniels, the winner of our popular disabled and over 60s match.

His first put-in resulted in a 3lb 6oz 0dr bream, to which he added silver fish for a total of 5-2-0.

Pete Critchley with 2-12-0 made the runner-up spot. There were a number of weights around the 2lb mark from the change of venue at Grappenhall Trees.

The Cheshire Junior Spring League on Saturday at Preston Brook saw low weights, but Warrington AA team member Adam Harman made this first round a decisive win with 3-8-0.

Second-placed Tom Heron, fishing for Northwich, managed 1-11-0. Warrington are currently league leaders.

Ken Beeny had a great morning session on Tuesday on the Bridgewater just up from Brooklands Bridge, where he caught a shedful of quality roach on bread punch.

He returned later in the afternoon to use up a half pint of maggots and again had great sport from the same swim, but on this occasion it was perch that were quite literally queuing up to get at his bait.

Tench are now starting to feed on Rixton Claypits and Grey Mist.

At Rixton there have also been lots of roach and skimmers taken on pellet and caster, plus a reported ‘lower 20lb’ carp.

At the Mist the best tench catch I have heard of was a dozen fish, with most being around 5 to 6lbs.

Carp on this venue are also getting their heads down, with the best reported a mirror of 23lbs.

Ian Rushmore enjoyed a cracking roach session on the Macclesfield Canal at Scholar Green, where he had around 12 to 15lbs of beautiful ‘red fins’ taken on pole and caster.
