ANGLING: Furnace Mill

The fish have been feeding well again. Pleasure anglers have reported excellent catches and over 100lb was needed to get in the top four in the Sunday Open.

First place went to Ray Lamb who drew the much-fancied peg 8. He landed 122-2, fishing shallow using worm and pellet.

In second place was open regular Paul Cook from Stourport. He landed 118-4 off peg 25 using pellet and paste. Dean Walters was on peg 30 and used pellet and worm to land 101-11. Fourth place went to Steve Harris with 100-5 off peg 52.

Rich Evans was disappointed to only come eighth with his catch of 86-13 but he did take the silver prize for the second week on the trot with 21-4 of roach, rudd and bream. He caught these shallow on the worm.

Pellet and paste have been effective baits in the past week but worm and caster caught lots of fish too. Fish were feeding up in the water with some large carp being caught in the margins.
