Ten anglers turned out for Coldstone’s Christmas match on the Evenlode at Ascott-under-Wychwood, writes Andy Webber.
With the chub reluctant to feed in the clear water, it was a bit of a struggle.
Steve Arthurs managed to tempt three of them around the 2lb mark, plus around 8lb of chublets and roach, for a winning 13.12.0.
Brian Ballard finished second with 11.15.0, comprising three chub on bread and some bits on maggot.
Pete Moss winkled out two chub on bread for 7.9.0 and third place.
