10 turned up to the GUC at Marsworth Red lion. One went home without drawing and 9 fished. The wind was raging down the middle so I set up one topkit only. Due to the wind and tow I opted for a heavier rig than I would normally use. A 0.60gr diamond pattern dotted right down to a 22 to 0.07.
Cupped in a pot of roach 3000 and some sqatts mixed in and first bite was a skimmer. In the first hour I had 3 more and some gudgeon and perch. Stayed with single red maggot until the bites dried up. Had a few more gudgeon in the last 3 hours on pinkie but it really slowed down, as did the wind.
Came nowhere with 2lb 5.
Winner 8lb
Second 5lb 12.
Third 4lb 3.
How did you get on?
