Dennis Houghton is Tydd Gote Angling Club star man at Wednesday Open on North Level at Main Road with nine-tench haul for 32lb

Tydd Gote Angling Club: w/e March 8.

Dennis Houghton (pictured) was the star man at the Wednesday Open on the North Level at Main Road with an impressive nine tench haul for 32lb 14oz.

On end peg 6 Houghton fished worm over caster and maggot between 11m and 12m to take the victory. Pete Emery pushed him all the way though, taking a bigger stamp of fish from peg 4 and ending up with six tench for his 28lb 14oz and runner-up spot.

It was a similar story at the Sunday club match with the two downstream end pegs producing the tench. Andrew Kilby was on end peg 8 and latched into four tench, two on the feeder and two on a long pole line for a winning 17lb. Don Green was next door on 7 and took two tench on feeder and worm for his second placed 6lb 6oz but weights plummeted after that with only sticklebacks to be caught.
