2014 - River soar winter league No.3 November 2nd run by the Angling Trust


Number 3 match in the series and the usual meeting took place at the Anchor Inn at Hathern. As you can see through the window the road was a river this due to incessant rain throughout the night and early morning.

Van Joff with words of wisdom to his fellow piscatorials.





Stu writing the cards after Chris Marks drawing hand delivered our platform positions for the day.







I drew the 1860 peg 4 ……Joe Oakes had this the week before and it was not so productive , maybe i can get a good weight of it?


My target area with a nice glide for stick float fishing with about a 5' depth.

First hour for me was so productive as i took a steady stream of roach , chublettes and Perch . Lost a good sized chub and Perch with a few Roach …… this would prove be decisive in the weigh in.
At the final weigh in it was evident that hemp and punch played a big part in the best weights

Sean Ashby on peg 9 with a good 6970 gr weight on caster , no punch.





Steve Gardner of Shimano  Peg 8 with 5.600 gr



Rod Bream Loughborough rod on Peg 7 with 3800 gr


M Parkin 'Trentman' Peg 6 with 6080 gr


R Fryer of Matchman Peg 5 with 4450 gr








Midland Angling Supplies MD Phil Ackerley on Peg 4 with 3450 gr







D Guest of Leicester Drennan Peg 3 with 4500 gr  (great bloke he lent me his platform , really appreciated)






Mark Parker of Long Eaton Peg2 with 4340 gr


 Quorn rod A Renly Peg 1 with 7150 gr



Another terrific day on Leicestershires premier river , the 'Soar' as many weights were amassed considering the overnight / early morning rain deluge. 3 matches now completed with 3 more to play and the series so far has been an overwhelming success . Next year could see more teams enter the series and truly make this the largest river league in the UK…… bring it on !
