YORK angler Peter Gilligan is hoping that Evening Press readers can help him trace some misplaced tackle.

After fishing at Moorlands, Skelton, on Saturday, June 1, Peter returned home to discover he had left his rod holdall in the fishery car park. The contents included his Daiwa 711 pole and a new MAP Elton rod. When Peter got back to the lake his holdall had gone as had the two other vehicles in the car park when he left.

The tackle was not insured and Gilligan is desperately hoping that the drivers of the white Ford Transit van or a Ford Focus may have picked up his gear. Gilligan can be contacted on York 655044.

The controversy surrounding the Bank Holiday £1000 Rods n' Sods extravaganza at Raker Lakes has resolved.
