A real difficult decision between Paul and Simon's Loddon fish, Paul's as much as all he has achieved this season, absolutely fantastic catches but it had to be Simon, that truly is a fish for the Loddon, one of the biggest, even if it is his pet

 

[Paul Monaghan]

Simon's Loddon 16.8 gets my vote too
Some cracking fish though.

 

[Ian Grant]

Tough call, but it's got to be the Taff fish for me boyo
Lovely fish from a river not exactly heaving with Barbel.. well done that man !
All great fish though especially Simons 16 from the Loddon

 

[Bill Walford]

I've got to agree with Ian G on two counts...A Tough Call with some cracking fish...my vote also goes to the Taff fish, but well done all anglers for making the board...

 

[Keith Speer]

They are all worth catching, for me the Taff is the one, for the same reasons Ian gave.
It is also a daylight shot which ticks my box.

Well done to all though, I would be more than happy to catch any of those fish!


We are certainly living through a golden age, I wonder just how long this will last?

 

[Brian Timson]

Nice to see a Taff Fish on the leader board. Gets my vote Matt may also share his pallatrax prize or show me where he caught it lol

Nice one Matt

Taff for me,having fished it for a summer a couple of years ago whilst working down there its not easy.
Well done some crackers.

[Simon Haggis]

If I knew you hadn't caught loads more and loads bigger I'd vote for you Paul! But the Taff fish is a real achievement and a great pic too..so I voted for myself obviously

 

[Mark Erdwin]

Some absolutely beautiful fish,each one making for a very difficult choice,the Taff fish is cracking,but I went with Simon's 16.8 from the Loddon,a wonderful fish in my opinion

 

[Mark Walters]

Hard choice this time but I had to go for the Taff fish as we dont get many Welsh fish on here.

 

[Will Smith]

Almost the Taff for me but the Wandle fish just pipped it both because it's great to see such a nice fish after the big fish kill and also just for the people watching in the background. I bet they had no idea that was in their little river!

 

[Paul Hamer]

Taff fish for me, cracking fish and excellent photo too, well done to everyone, some nice fish

 

[Phil Adams]

Voted for the Wandle, given it's location and the number of wipeouts it's had, I think it deserves my vote. However, that Taff fish is awesome.

 

[David Hall]

wandle for me as well, nice to have an audience.

 

[Richard Borley]

There are some really great fish and great pictures too this month.
But at the end of the day a 16lb barbel is a very special creature so i have to vote for Simon's Loddon capture.

[Chris Summersell]

Taff for me, they always look better in daylight.

 

[Mark Reid]

Almost the Taff for me but the Wandle fish just pipped it both because it's great to see such a nice fish after the big fish kill and also just for the people watching in the background. I bet they had no idea that was in their little river!

I have fished a different stretch, one morning this woman came out her house and threw the leftover bread from breakfast in the river. I asked if she was feeding the fish, she said what fish and returned to see a shoal of chub going mental.
