The River Lark at Prickwillow

Early morning was best with bright sunshine across a very frosty fen -4 in fact. the cold did not deter 12 hardy clubmen, mind you if they had known that later on freezing fog would descend upon us with freezing rod rings things might have been different. This was a no pressure match as no points are at stake and so the river could be attacked and so some quality fish were caught.  Best fish was a fine 3lb perch caught by Liam Darler.  There were other decent perch caught and some Hemp roach.  Main baits that produced were maggot and pinkie with punch scoring less well in the coloured water.

Liam worked hard all day putting together a catch of mainly small roach but still managed to adjust tactic to snare a lovely 3lb perch. Biggest cheer and laughter went to me!  no not because of my fine catch of roach but when I tumbled down the steep bank almost knocking Dave Seal into the ice cold water as I went to weigh him in.  I bust up the scale bag as I landed covered in mud on my back.  A cruel person...  Mr Darler, declared that we should warn the residents of Soham not to worry about a tremor they might experience tomorrow as the shock waves progress across the fen from my unfortunate fall.
