Fortunately a few anglers reported having the odd bite and Steve Burgess lead the way with his float dipping twice on his first put-in and not long after missing a "proper" bite which completely took his maggot hookbait! He managed a third bite later on in the afternoon when he dropped his rig in and the float carried on going under but that may have been down to excess ice formation on his pole float.
Ade Crawley had his pinky chewed (which was nice for him) while Paul Elmes had several good knocks on his feeder rig in between tangles with an overhanging tree.
Derek Lucas had one definite bite on his tip rod but by then was frozen to his platform and unable to pick the rod up while Darren North also reported indications on his rod tip but they may have been liners from floating pack ice!
All was not completely lost however, as after the all-out Alan Healy dropped his pole rig into the River Cary behind him and bagged up with a pair of 2oz roach and Paul Elmes adopted a similar tactic (with Ade Crawley's pole) and landed a roach of about 8oz.
Paul Elmes with the best fish of the day and the biggest fish Ade Crawley's pole has seen all season.
Alan with half of the Healy family's fish supper.
