Archie reels in John to clinch tie at Tydd Gote Angling Club meet

There was a rare tie for first place at the latest Tydd Gote Angling Club Wednesday Open on the North Level at Main Road.

It happened after Archie Greenwood slowly but surely pegged back John Taylor’s quick start to draw level on 8lb 4oz, with roach and rudd the main components of both nets.

Pete Emery was third with 6lb 4oz, caught on both waggler and short pole.

The Sunday Club match destined for Main Road had to be relocated due to a layer of ice and weed, with the final destination ending up being Clough Bridge.

An energetic ice breaking session soon warmed things up, but the match itself was a dour affair.

Peg one always produces fish – even in the worst of conditions – and so it proved as Andrew Kilby winkled out 16 small fish. He just about won his personal duel with the resident mink, who was leading for most of the day.

Emery was the only other catcher with a miniscule roach in the last half hour for second place.
