Wild and windy on either bank as only Conway can be as it whistles down the valley meant the top the top end was definitely the favoured draw. Ian Simpson drew the middle of the top end bank and made no mistakes setting off to catch roach short in the margins and was going well with 20lb of stamp fish in the first 2 hours before the carp rocked up big time and stopped the roach getting a look in. Fishing a simple maggot rig on light gear and elastic but feeding maggot heavily Ian finished with 88lb for what in the end looked an easy win although Ian was left ruing two munters, both looked double figures, that he lost in the last 20mins when one slipped the hook at the net and the other snapped the 0.10 hooklength when it rolled at the net....doh!!!......could have easily been a winter ton!
Ted Neild sat it out in the gale at the windy end, sorry v.v.v.v.v.v windy end and managed to secure a well deserved second spot fishing the feeder to the sunken island. Keith Williamson drew next to the point and managed enough on the feeder for third spot with a few on the pole the wind was hard work there even at 6m.
Result
1st - Ian Simpson - 88.1lb
2nd - Ted Neild - 37.5lb
3rd - Keith Williamson - 28.5lb
