The Results from today’s match on the Canal at Creech.

We’ve gone upstream of the Carpark behind the houses this time.
The match was going to be above Telecom bridge in town.
But yesterday the colour didn’t look great so we had a move down stream to find some better water.

Pegging the match Saturday there was plenty of fish showing just above the road bridge.
But we had 13 booked in this would take us 4 pegs upstream of the bottle neck.

Above the bottle neck can be a little harder going than the first 9 pegs.
So a quick vote this morning and we drop the top 4 pegs down stream between the two bridges because it’s normally solid with fish.

The weather conditions on the day were not ideal with a brisk upstream easterly 🥶 the water colour was pretty good though.

The fish were very slow to get going with the upstream pegs having to wait a good half hour before their first fish.

So who managed to string the better fish or the most fish together to come out on top.

Chris Parr was probably the last to catch a fish from the start. But once they arrived Chris caught plenty quality Roach on the bread punch for 15lbs 7oz and the win.

In second place was Russell Hilton with a net of hundred and thousands. (Bleak) with the odd quality Roach mixed in for 8lbs 14oz

In third place Dan Baldwin with some nice roach on the bread punch for 8lbs On the dot.

Not sure if we have anything planned next weekend yet.

Wish our canals fished like that awesome catch

Cracking stretch of canal, nice to see everyone catching this morning.. 👍🏻👌🏻

Looks like Creech was a good choice. Well done. I wondered why the car park was almost full when I took my dog for a walk on the footpath opposit towpath, then realised that you were all upstream.

Tomorrow’s match will be at Creech.
We will be going left-handed of the car park behind the house houses.

Draw at 8:30 am

This weekend’s match (Sunday) is still on the Canal and will be up stream of Bathpool somewhere.
Itt. Nerrols or the cement works.

The colour has started to drop out but this colour shown below will be in and around the middle section Sunday.

Also we have not been up the top of the canal for a while.

#as hard as woodpecker lips.
