Despite the plunging temperatures of late, one or two hardy souls still need their fishing fix.

None more than Bob Fearnhead who relishes the colder weather in his search of small silver fish from his beloved Doe Hey.

A hat-trick of wins made it a flying New Year start for the Farnworth angler.

Meanwhile Deane anglers found some good sport from Walkdens Boat Shed Water with plenty of carp and small tench being caught.
