Big Trent bags prove fitting memorial to Nottinghamshire angler.

Keith Fretwell was remembered in style last weekend, as his beloved River Trent threw up several big weights of fish. Coming out on top was Clowne rod Phil Turner, who weighed in a 52-9-0 net of bream to take victory. He fished a groundbait feeder with maggot and worm on the hook, casting one third of the way across the river.

Lincoln rod Mark Bond was second, though it was big barbel that accounted for the bulk of his weight. Mark took three of his four barbel on the last three casts of the day, catching on a feeder with sweetcorn on the hook cast just a couple of rod lengths from the bank.

Third placed Dean Harris again caught skimmers on the feeder throwing one third of the way across the river.
