On Wednesday was the regular Tydd Gote open match fished on the North Level Drain, a water well worth a visit at this time of year, writes Ken Wade.

There were two small matches on the March Twenty Foot and the Old Nene at Benwick, both venues that will also be included in the HAJAC final.

The Tydd Gote club were back on a windswept North Level on Sunday, writes Ken Wade.

After a successful HAJAC Winter League last week all eyes were back on the Old Nene at March which attracted yet another huge match on the venue.

The Wednesday Tydd Gote open match on the North Level Drain produced a tie for first place between Archie Greenwood and John Taylor, both 8lb 4oz.

Again the HAJAC Winter League match was spread across the Fenland drains to ensure most of those competing found plenty of bites, writes Ken Wade.

At Buttonhole Fishery there was a good turnout for the open match which saw most struggling in the wind, making it difficult to present a pole rig.

The Old Nene at March continues to produce some of the best silver fish action in the country as huge weights were taken in the latest open match.

Tydd Gote Angling Club started the new year well in their North Level Drain match at Main Road, which saw Andrew Kilby and Steve Borrett facing off.

The HAJAC Winter League got off to a flying start at the weekend and it was good to see a much improved turnout as well, writes Ken Wade.

There are quite a lot of organised matches and impromptu sweepstakes taking place on both stillwaters and Fenland drains over the holiday period.

Despite a strong team on paper local East Midland Winter League sides Sensas Mark One had a poor league campaign this year by their high standards.

A massive change in the weather saw the final round of the East Midland Winter League taking place on three venues across the Fenland drains.

It’s been a very good year for Sam Hawks over at Buttonhole Fishery.

The big match of the weekend was undoubtedly the East Midland Winter League practice match on the Twenty Foot Drain at March and Ramsey Narrows.

What a year it’s been for Fenland Rods angler Kev Lee.

It was back on the Old Nene at March for the East Midland Winter League penultimate round and I am just about out of superlatives, writes Ken Wade.

It was back to the Old Nene at March last weekend for those getting some practice in for the forthcoming East Midland Winter League match on Sunday.

The Old Nene at Benwick was once again the venue for the East Midland Winter League, writes Ken Wade.

Once again there was a huge turnout for the first March Open fished on the Old Nene through the town.
