Greg Sire from France caught his first tench of 2016 during a short session after work.

“I fished for two hours on a small lake near my house,” the Drennan fan explained. “I chose to pole fish at 10 metres and only used 1kg of special roach groundbait and some bloodworm. 

“In the first hour I caught many roach and rudd, then I put two bloodworm on my Kamasan B590 hook to a 0.07mm hooklength and, 10 minutes later, this tench was in my keepnet.”
