PEG 220 at Hunters Lodge came up trumps for the second week in succession in the second round of the Yorkshire Winter League on the Ouse.

Hirst Tackle 'A' made it back-to-back wins and even at this early stage the rest look to be fishing for second place.

Steve Fearnley (Hirst Tackle) was the lucky occupier of the monster bream residence between Hunters Lodge and Widdington and he tempted a couple on caster feeder plus a few roach for his 18lb 14oz.

Team-mate Steve Raper (Hirst Tackle) was pegged 176 below the willow garth and he also found a big 7lb plus slab on caster feeder.

He added a few quality roach, bringing his net to 10lb 10oz.

Jim Jordan (Armley Angling) was on 221 and his last cast bream of 7lb 10oz brought him up rapidly to a third-placed 7lb 14oz.

Others: Ian Bates (Hirst Tackle) 6-4-0, Dave Beever (Marsh Tackle) 5-15-0 and Craig Turbitt (Waterline Wibsey) 4-10-0.

Teams: Hirst Tackle 'A' 61; Anglers World York 52; Selby 51; Hirst Tackle 'B' 48; Waterline Wibsey 44; Armley Angling 43.

League: Hirst Tackle 'A' 2; Hirst Tackle 'B', Selby and Waterline Wibsey all 7; Anglers World York 8.

York-based river expert Steve Hodson (RSPS Tekneek Trabucco) led from the peg known as Duffer's hole on the Norton Conyers water of the Ure above Ripon.

There were 23 double figure nets in the 60-strong sell-out field in a brilliant contest.

Fishing the middle of the river with waggler and long rod he switched baits between caster and grub for 31 chub and 73lb 7oz.

Mick Tiffany (Leeds) was second from below the bend in Dales Field.

He used stick and maggot for 20 chub, most of which came in the last hour, for his 58lb 12oz.

Others: John Fletcher (Ripon) 58-2-0; Ian Lumb (Turners Tackle) 53-9-0, Kevin Moore (Marsh Tackle) 53-8-0, Graham Skirrey (Turners Tackle) 39-4-0.

Organiser Mick Herrington (Bob.Co/Oaks) topped Sunday's 63-entry on Maple Lake and spoilt Dean Smith's day in the process.

Herrington fished down the track with caster to combat the strong wind on peg 22.

Cupping in casters and groundbait he took a string of small carp and barbel for 44lb 12oz.

The unlucky Dean Smith (Tekneek Trabucco Elton) was on peg 54 where he fished maggot across for his all carp 44lb 1oz.

Others: Stuart Turner (Wetherby) 42-9-0, Steve Simmons (Bob.Co/Meanwood) 41-14-0, Andy Middleton (Oaks) 30-0-0 and John McGarell (MAP Elton) 29-7-0.

Selby-based travelling partners Richard Galton and Clive Stokes cleaned up in the 80-peg mid-week open at Woodlands.

Galton led from peg ten on Partridge where he fished corn at six and 13 metres for a 56lb 3oz net of carp to 6lb.

Stokes employed the same tactics on Skylark 26 for an all carp bag of 47lb 2oz.

Others: Mal Bailey (MAP Elton) 40-10-0, Andy Dargue (Shimano Quaker Match Group) 39-5-0,; Alan Menzies (Sensas Garbolino) and Steve Wright (Seward) both 38-8-0.

The Bob.Co open at Carpvale was fished on Cyprio Lake on Sunday by a sell-out entry of 20 anglers.

Steve Sharples (Bob.Co) took the honours with a good net of quality carp scaling 66lb 12oz.

Fishing into open water with cat meat from peg three, he netted fish to 7lb at steady intervals.

Runner-up Andy Gallant (Bob.Co) used the same approach from peg 16 for his all carp net of 45lb 6oz.

Others: Graham Broadley (Bob.Co) 31-0-0 and Bernard Guy (Bob.Co) 29-4-0.
