The biggest reported rudd of the season has been caught by Ryszard Warman, who landed this exceptional 3lb 14oz specimen.

“I fished a swim I’d pre-baited twice in the week, and it was evident there were fish present when I arrived,” he told us. “Using slow-sinking bread flake below a puddle-chucker float, I hooked a good fish first cast, and at 3lb 14oz, it equals my PB! I’m excited to see what else the Drains throw up this year.”
Well done Ryszard!
