DERWENT

Ranger's review: 'Season ends with a 6lb 5oz Beauty'
A quiet end to proceedings as the season on Derwent drew to a close.  However, the typical November weather did not dampen the spirits of S Trueman who caught a lovely rainbow weighing 6lb 5oz using a Black Fritz on the north shore.  The most productive areas have been Cronkley Bay and above the Sailing Club.  The Derwent Rangers would like to thank you all for your continued custom throughout the year and to take this opportunity of wishing you all a very Merry Christmas and New Year.  We look forward to welcoming you back in March.
