Martin Rogers (Barneys Blacks) continued a good run of results on the venue this year with another comprehensive individual victory. He fished the floating pole and pellet from peg ten on Cottage Lake to land 109lb 4oz of carp to 5lb.

A huge survival of small dace and chub on the Salisbury Hampshire Avon from the summer of 2003 bodes well for the future if the fish dodge the onslaught of cormorants for the next few years. Several anglers had several hundred three-to-four inch fish in their nets at the end of the match but quality fish decided the Salisbury and District event.

Robert Wynn took 36lb 6oz of chub and dace on stick float and maggot from Elizabeth Gardens, Dave Moody was second with 33lb of chub from Deanery Meadows on waggler and maggot with Cliff Carbis third with 27lb 10oz of chub on waggler and maggot from Elizabeth Gardens. Shaun Gumbleton was fourth with 25lb 4oz of big dace.
