Yarlington Match Lake's peg 25 lived up to its reputation as being a flyer when it came up with its second win in a week during the Avon Angling Midweek Open fished at Cider Farm Lakes, Lympsham.

Taking full advantage was Bristol's Tony Rixon, who caught early fish with an 8 mm pellet poled over a 4mm feed cupped-in at 13 metres.

And when the fish moved into the islands' gap, Rixon followed. He added two pole section, fished a 6mm hookbait shallow and by switching between the two swims, bagged 67 carp totalling 159-9-0.

Second was Rod Wootten, who poled a 6mm soft pellet at full depth and over a 4mm feed to tempt 93-3-0 of carp to almost 4-0-0.
