Sunday saw 30 young anglers battle it out on the Trent & Mersey Canal at Rudheath for the first match of the spring league.
Despite an early downpour, the rain held off for most of the match, and all of the young starlets managed to catch fish during the 4 hour contest. Hosts Northwich Anglers came out triumphant, and take a one-point advantage over local rivals Warrington Anglers to next week's match on the Bridgewater Canal.
Local rod, Tom Bunby made the best of an end peg opposite the marina entrance at Rudheath. Working with the long pole, Tom put together a match-winning 3lb 8oz net of roach, skimmers and gudgeon, to give him a small margin over 2nd place Ryan Brown (Warrington) who caught mostly skimmers on the far shelf. Bay Malton's James Lomas made up the 3rd podium place with a 3lb 2oz net of skimmers.
Most of the catches were made up of small gudgeon with odd bonus skimmers, although Sam Abols included a handsome 2lb 4oz perch in his net.
Many thanks to Northwich Anglers for hosting the first round, and providing additional prizes for the winners. Full results are on the Match Results page.
