6th Apr 2026 - Fishing Report
Fishing report 6/4/26
The ever-changing weather over the past week has really tested the anglers, forcing constant adjustments in tactics to stay on the fish.
Yesterday saw the second last heat of The Big One at Thrunton, where 23 anglers battled through Storm Dave – bringing everything from sunshine to hail and strong winds – all in the hope of securing a place in the final.
Tough, challenging conditions made for a true test of skill and determination. Huge credit to everyone who took part and stuck it out. Thanks again for all the help from our Marshals.
