21-06-21 – River Derwent top stretch (alongside the pond) match results.
The river was still low and clear last night and it fished hard. Pegs 1-8 were fished and all anglers caught.
1st Bob Harrison 4lb 7oz, peg 6
2nd Elliott Boam 3lb 3oz, peg 7
3rd Mark Gregory 1lb 12oz, peg 5
Bob fished the waggler with loosefeed and caught better fish than those who fed groundbait. Groundbait drew in lots of small dace which resulted in lots of missed bites for most.
