Fur and Feather Cawdor and Tansley Ponds
Fur and Feather Cawdor and Tansley Ponds
This years match was held on the club ponds due to the high levels on the River Derwent after the recent heavy rains and 45 anglers took part. The draw for the match would prove all important with the ponds at Cawdor crystal clear and half of the pond at Tansley the same. It was thought that the winning weight would come from the arm at Tansley and so it proved, with four out of the top six weights coming from there. The winner was R Bonson from Peg 17 at Tansley with a weight of 16lbs 14ozs made up of mainly chub and bream .In second place was A Cooper from Peg 16 at Tansley with 11lbs 4ozs again chub and bream making up his weight.In third was C Ashbrook on Peg 14 at Tansley with a bream and roach net of 8lbs 9ozs and M Harrison who fished Peg 3 at Cawdor for a silver fish net also for 8lbs 9ozs.
The draw and breakfast and also the presentation was at the Red Lion Matlock Green and thanks go to them and Asa and the others who helped before and on the day , this included many hours work at Cawdor for the week beforehand to get these ponds fishable and raffle prize donations , this match continues to be the highlight of the clubs match calendar and this is in no small part due to hours of work put in to make this event successful.
