The penultimate round of the Acomb Tackle York WL saw 115 anglers contest a difficult match on the Ouse below York.
After threatening to flood the city centre a few days previously the river had fallen dramatically but still held an additional yard of chocolate-coloured water.
Rob Morris (Railway Institute) led from a peg below the bay at Fulford.
After fishing feeder for bream without success he switched to bomb and double flouro pinkie and got a 4lb slab straight away. He went on to add a few perch for his 5lb 12oz.
