Managed to win the Wychavon Championship qualifier on the Avon at Evesham with a level 10lb net. That included 4lb of hemp roach, a good 4lb+of perch and three chublets. When the scales arrived I thought I&#8217;d maybe got 6lb 8oz, so I was well-chuffed to be completely out \u2013 That&#8217;s not like me, cough!<\/p>\n<p>Evesham Festival here we come! Would be rather nice to be the first person to ever win the Wychavon Championship three times&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Next day I was on a searing hot River\u00a0Thames between Abingdon and Culham. Some terrific weights of bream were caught but the small fish sport was pretty dire for many, including me. I never even saw a roach, but the last two bites came from Reggie the Crayfish and Percy the pocket-sized Pike. Definitely the smallest pike I&#8217;ve ever seen!<\/p>\n<p>The joys of summer river fishing!<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style>\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 33%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-1545 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a title=\"jon-arthur-wychavon-win-10lb\" href='https:\/\/www.jonarthur.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/jon-arthur-wychavon-win-10lb.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.jonarthur.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/jon-arthur-wychavon-win-10lb-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.jonarthur.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/jon-arthur-wychavon-win-10lb-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.jonarthur.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/jon-arthur-wychavon-win-10lb-160x160.jpg 160w, https:\/\/www.jonarthur.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/jon-arthur-wychavon-win-10lb-320x320.jpg 320w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a title=\"thames-mini-pike\" href='https:\/\/www.jonarthur.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/thames-mini-pike.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.jonarthur.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/thames-mini-pike-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.jonarthur.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/thames-mini-pike-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.jonarthur.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/thames-mini-pike-160x160.jpg 160w, https:\/\/www.jonarthur.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/thames-mini-pike-320x320.jpg 320w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a title=\"thames-reggie\" href='https:\/\/www.jonarthur.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/thames-reggie.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.jonarthur.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/thames-reggie-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.jonarthur.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/thames-reggie-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.jonarthur.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/thames-reggie-160x160.jpg 160w, https:\/\/www.jonarthur.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/thames-reggie-320x320.jpg 320w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Heroes and zeros last weekend on the river.
