River Derwent Match Result Sunday 27th November 2016

Paul Simpson 23-10  

With heavy rain at the beginning of the week, most expected the match to be switched to the ponds, but with the flood water running off it was decided to fish on the river. With a good turn out of 16 anglers it wasn't expected to fish to well with extra water on and a dour colour. 

It soon became clear that bites would be hard to come by, But Paul Simpson took the bold decision to switch very early in the match to a Big fish attack which was well executed and paid off handsomely. Paul weighed more then the other 15 anglers combined! Simmo's 6 chub to 4+lb and 4lb ish barbel were taken on feeder on a dour and unresponsive river. It just shows the River holds Barbel & Chub in good numbers if you are prepared to fish for them.
