Wakefield A.C. match on 7th March at Newmiller Dam
Anglers turning up for the first match of the campaign were greeted to a mostly frozen Newmillerdam, some opting to turn around and head straight back home.
Eighteen of the brave decided to give it a go and were pegged evenly on both sides in the middle section. Top rod on the day was Trevor Rymer from peg17 with a weight of 10lb 13oz. He took three Bream and a few skimmers all on feeder tactics using maggot baits.
Second was Ray Reah from peg52 with 9lb 7oz of Bream and Skimmers on the same feeder methods and baits. Third on the day was Gary Hampshire with 5lb 14oz from peg13 which consisted of three small Bream and a 1lb 6oz Roach again on feeder tactics.
