EASTWOOD'S ANGLING: Bank Holiday joy for Butler

Storm Bella brought some torrential rain which increased our river levels.

A couple of extra feet of coloured water affected the sport on the River Steeping at Wainfleet.

Nige Butler was lucky enough to connect with a big hybrid and win the Bank Holiday open.

These matches will continue weekly dependent on future tiers and guidelines.

The next match is Friday, January 1 with the draw at 9am on Vicarage Lane.

With the river fining down nicely, sport will be much better on the forthcoming matches.

Results: 1 Nige Butler 3lb 7oz, 2 Russ Parsons 1lb 9oz, 3 Alistair Ogilvy 1lb 2oz 8drm.

Hanworth Country Park sport picked up in spite of Storm Bella.

The Bank Holiday open was cold but a close contest on the Canal pool, with Silver fish making up the main weights.

Results: 1t Barney Todd 35lb 14oz, 2 Chris Mawer 32lb 8oz, 3 Paul Spittlehouse 30lb 10oz.
