Steve and Finlay Bulbeck Masterclass Day River Yare
15th July 2014
over 22lbs – brilliant catch Finlay
This was a special combined birthday present from Steve’s wife and Finlay’s mother Susan. The wonderful Beauchamp Arms stretch of the River Yare was the chosen venue.

It was a warm morning with just a light breeze. The river is tidal here and when we arrived had just began to flood.
Finlay’s first fish an 8ozs roach
The pace varies quite considerably, so floats between 2 and 5 grams were needed. Bait was double red maggot with a 14 hook, both anglers were soon into fish, a small ball of groundbait at regular intervals plus loose feeding over the top, on high tide the water was almost still and then it was a fish as soon as the float settled.
We left the bank at about 5pm. Finlay had caught just over 22lbs and Steve about 21lbs.
