Roach begin to shown on the last round of the Oxford Summer League
John Taylor from Rive A4 with a superb net of roach from Medley caught on the Waggler
The 6th and final round of the Oxford Summer league was fished by 7 teams of 6 on the Thames on the top end of Medley, Channel and Folly sections. With cooler conditions the river has fished reasonably well with a few bigger fish and lots of small fish caught. Team wise Drennan Oxford Aqua ran out clear winners and Gary Barclay from the same team winning the individual champion only dropping 3 points over the 6 matches.
