Bruce and myself had a day on the Mersey on Saturday,we fished Vale for three hours down,one up and it was
poor,freezing fog,loads of crap floating down the river and after just a couple of whiting each we went to Vale
to fish the rest of the flood which thankfully gave us a few fish,several codling between us all virtually the same
size,around 2 to 21/2lb, which seems the norm at the moment in the river,
