Tunnel Barn Farm

ONCE again weather conditions have made fishing hard with moderate weights only from all pools.

The Top Pool fished well up until Sunday when the second day's freeze took its toll.

Pinkies and red maggot are the best baits but small pellets are starting to work on both the Top and House Pools.

On the canal, daddy ruff and small perch are the main stay to bloodworm over joker.

The Bottom Pool is still 60 per cent free of ice and roach and perch can be had to red maggot.

Open matches are staged on Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays with an affordable open (£7) on Thursday.

All matches are drawn at 9am, fishing 10am to 3pm.
