The first of this years series of evening fishing matches was held at Piccadilly Basin on the Rochdale Canal….
A 5.30pm draw – and we fished from 6pm until 9pm
11 anglers turned out, with a mix of pole and rod and line approaches..
Ronan on peg 2 (nearest to the lock gates at Piccadilly) found the skimmers on maggot on the far side of the boat channel and caught a very respectable 4lb8oz.
Mike Duddy came second with 2lb2oz of roach caught on hemp and caster
Phil Clayton in 3rd place with 1lb2oz of roach
Nearly all anglers caught a couple of fish, with only one angler being unlucky to dry net…..
