Fur & Feather Match River Derwent Matlock &Matlock Bath

This years fur and feather match took place on the River Derwent for the first time in a few years after heavy rains had forced a switch to the ponds previously.The river had risen overnight and coupled with the problem of lots of leaves in the water didnt make it an easy day for the 40 anglers taking part in the clubs biggest match of the year.The match was fished from the Snitterton Stretch down to Matlock bath with some sections producing more fish than others.In a close finish Rick Needham took the honours with an all grayling net of 5lbs 10oz on Peg 63 just ahead by 3oz from second placed Gary Barfoot with 5lbs 7oz from Peg 77. In third and at last enjoying a match on the river was Dave Fowler with 5lbs 1oz 8 drams from Peg 60.Thanks must go to the match secretary Asa Cooper who put in a lot of work organising and running this match,and to the Horseshoes Matlock Green for providing the venue for the draw and breakfast and buffet after the match.Although some anglers didnt catch on the day most enjoyed a hard days fishing on the river.

Matlock AC teams interest in this years competition ended at the semi final stage with the team of six coming 15th with only the top seven teams going through to this years final.

The conditions reduced the weights produced in the match ,with Dave Greatorex winning the match overall with 7lb 1oz from Peg 12 narrowly beating James Slack Peg 2 into second place with 6lb 15oz and Julian Lamb Peg 3 into third again by ounces with 6lb 12oz .

6/1/2008 CLUB MATCH RIVER DERWENT MATLOCK & MATLOCK BATH

The first match of the new year took place on the River Derwent with the river coloured but in good condition with most of the eighteen anglers taking part finding the fishing good in most areas.The result was almost the same as the previous week with the first three again coming from the same pegs,with Grayling making up the top weights on the day. M Gregory drew peg 44 and found some nice grayling on artists corner to win the match,second was D Taylor on peg 59 the sandbank catching grayling on stick float ,third was M Harrison on peg 38 in Matlock Bath. Behind the top five weights were a few in the five pound range which showed the river fishing well , it was also pleasing to see some of the newly introduced Dace being caught in Matlock Bath which shows these fish have settled well in the river.

1st   M GREGORY           8lb 13oz    PEG 44
2nd  D TAYLOR                7lb   8oz    PEG 59
