Final round of the Wye Winter League yesterday…
On Saturday, the river was at 3ft and had been fishing well all week. When we arrived yesterday morning it was nearly 6ft and a nasty colour…not good! The big question was, could any team stop the march of long time leaders Welsh Wizards? After five very difficult hours for most the answer was no!

Once again it’s been a great league. Well done to Welsh Wizards on a great victory! Woodys slipping to fourth overall was a shock to everyone and proves even the best can be beaten at times!
Special mention goes to league organiser Tony Birt for his unstinting work that makes this league so popular. Long may it continue!
