Diss Angling Club’s Andrew Mears once again had a perfect weekend and this time it was all on the river.
The first match was at Brockdish on Saturday and just four anglers turned out, with only three of staying until the end.
Mears enjoyed a good day’s fishing, taking roach perch and chub, with the best fish a 2lb 15oz chub, taken when Mears was on the phone and had dropped his rig into the edge.
Mears finished with a total of 6lb 12.
Second was Colin Lea with 6lb 10.5oz and third was Bill Davies with 1lb 8.5oz.
Mears’ second win came at Hoxne.
He kept up the pace of the day before but did not have the bonus of catching a big fish.
Perch and roach made up Mears’ 4lb 0.5 oz bag.
Second was Simon Thompson, who was well off the pace and found it tough going to find bites but finally ended the match with 2lb 11oz. Third went to George Wilby with just 1lb 10.5oz.
Eye Ponds was the venue for last Tuesday’s match. Dougy Burrows made the best of the day’s action.
A mixed bag of silver fish gave Burrows a catch of 13lb 13oz. Second and third was separated by just two ounces. Barry Day had 9lb 4oz and took five points when he finished second. Third went to Angie Burrows with her 9lb 2oz net of fish.
