Cam the place to be for a giant rudd!
THE River Cam further cemented its position as one of the greatest big rudd venues in the country when it produced a brace of 3lb specimens in two days.
The larger of the pair weighed 3lb 3oz and fell to Joe Royffe, who struck gold after he trotted breadflake down the centre of the river.
He said:
“It was a bit of a heart-in-mouth moment as I battled it through the marginal lily pads!”

Just a day later, all-rounder Simon Baker landed a stunning 3lb 2oz specimen.
It was a new personal best for the 30-year-old, who watched as the fish slurped down his breadcrust offering from the water’s surface.
