The results from the last round of the presidents at Hookbridge and Athelney on the River Tone.

We had 21 booked in with a few late arrivals from another match that had been cancelled due to strong winds forecast.

With 21 booked in we had 3 sections.
One section at Hookbridge the other two at Athelney above and below the pumping station.
With the past years form Hookbridge would be the section to avoid.
Unfortunately this was the case again today 😮‍💨

Athelney is slightly harder to call before the start with the fish moving up and down the match length.

The water was almost perfect with the rain over the last two days giving us around 8 to 10ft of depth and a lovely colour.
The forecasted strong winds didn’t make much difference with the high banks behind us.

So who got it right on the day.

Chris Parr (Gappy) had a lovely days Roach fishing just below the railway bridge.
With quality Roach most of the day on caster and bronze maggots for 33lbs 2oz

In Second place Stan two up from the pump with quality Roach for 17lbs 6oz

In third place (B section)Dan Baldwin with 17lbs 2oz of Roach

The other two section winners.

(A) section Mark Hollister with a good Chub and a couple of Roach for 2lbs 8oz

(C) Section Chris Parr below the pump House with a good size chub and some lovely Roach for 13lbs 12oz

Hi lads, are you going to try the tone festival again next march? I know floods have spoilt it last 2 years but it old be great if it could be tried again. If only to get Jon Martin out of retirement, although I completely understand that it would need to be fitted in between birthdays, weddings, holidays...

Plenty of bites

Cracking weights gents!
