This match was the second leg of the Pole Only Trophy and was fished in similar conditions to those experienced in the first leg, fished on Cart, – ie. a previous week of low temperatures and rain followed by a match day of cold windy conditions. The match was very hard with four anglers not weighing in – we even had one angler packing up at lunchtime.
