On his first trip to the unnamed venue Terry, from South Wales, took an excellent hit of fish, landing nine good roach, eight of them over 2lb, but the tally on his latest session eclipsed that, with no fewer than ten ‘twos’ gracing his net, alongside the 3lb 1oz cracker.

Maggot feeders fished on heli-rigs with short 5lb hooklinks and size 14 hooks carrying two maggots worked for Terry, who recast every hour and had most of his bites at dawn and dusk.
