Ian Walker (Kerrs Angling) utilised his favourite method to deadly effect to top the sell-out second round of the Outwood Angling Centre series at the Willows.

Pegged on Goldrush 45, he blasted the peg with casters to draw quality silver fish up in the water where he set about them a foot deep with double caster on size 16 hook. At the whistle he had taken a splendid 54lb of ide and orfe to nearly 2lbs to score an easy win.

Runner-up was Leeds youngster Ben Fisk (Team Gem), who had 42lb 8oz of carp to 3lb from peg 53 on the same lake fishing shallow with maggots.

Others: Bernard Guy (East End Park) 42-8-0; Dennis Geldard (Boston Spa) 39-10-0; Steve Raper (Hirst Tackle) 39-8-0; Dave Armitage (Bob-Co Tackle) 38-0-0.
