MANY Malvern anglers were left disappointed as very few fish were caught in the final Spring League match at the Mythe pool near Tewkesbury.

Remarkably, the biggest catches were bream in the order of three or four pounds with practically no small fish being caught at all.

But leading the way with four bream on feeder fished maggots was Richard Webster who finished with a winning weight of 17-8-0.

Using similar tactics, second-placed Nigel Bayliss had three bream to weigh 11-0-0.

Meanwhile, Shaun Taylor netted two beam to finish third with 8-0-0, although he lost a very big bream of about nine pounds when it was close to the landing net.

Nevertheless, after a very successful series of match results, Taylor had the consolation of being the overall winner of the Spring League series.

Results: 1 Richard Webster 17-8-0, 2 Nigel Bayliss 11-0-0, 3 Shaun Taylor 8-0-0, 4 Graham Rees 2-12-0, 5 Martin Elston 0-3-0.
