Wychwood angler’s run of form sees quartet of best fall in weeks. Four personal bests in a row is not a run of fish to be sniffed at, and a figure that has given Wychwood-backed rod Roy Russell a couple of weeks to remember. The venue for the 43-year-old’s amazing run was Oxfordshire’s Richworth Linear complex, where Roy had smashed his PB carp twice in one session on his last trip with fish of 39lb and 40lb 2oz. Keen to get back and chance his arm again, the Walsall-based carper’s latest trip to Manor Farm Lake (the day-ticket scene of the previous session) saw him do the double again, this time with a new PB carp of 41lb 4oz and a welcome surprise of a tench weighing in at a whopping 10lb 4oz.

Eagle-eyed readers will have noticed an error in this month’s Total Carp magazine. Somehow, in Kevin Hewitt’s feature on the Method, we managed to duplicate the words from his brilliant piece on PVA bags from the previous issue. We’re sorry for this, but to soften the blow we’ve printed the entire, correct, version right here. We think you’ll agree, it’s well worth a read.
