Junior league match 3

The curse of the Cheshire Spring League bad weather continued, but it didnt affect the fishing on the Trent & Mersey canal. All of the 30-strong field of young anglers caught fish, and the overall weights were very close. 


The top weights came off the reeds near the pipe bridge at Billinge, where the bream and skimmers had shoaled up for spawning. The rest of the field were content to settle for gudgeon, with many anglers putting 30-50 fish on the scales.

Prince Albert AS starlet, Daniel Baxter made the most of his draw on the reeds with a fine net of bream, roach and gudgeon for 7lb 11oz.  


The runner-up came off the next peg, with local Northwich rod Alex Clegg putting 7lb 5oz on the scales. 


Just off the reeds, but still in the action was Tameside's Matty Farres, who had a fine net of skimmers and silvers taken on the punch and squatt for 5lb 6oz.

The final match in this league of 4 takes the juniors to PAAS water Sandmere next week, where the individual and team trophies will be decided. Last year's Spring League champion, Tom Heron, goes into the final match with a single point advantage over Matty Farres (Tameside), and several others in close attendance.
