CATSHILL’S Phil Rutter scooped second prize in a top fishing contest.

Rutter caught a 77lbs 9oz fish to finish runner-up in the Dulux Decorator Centres annual competition at Woodland View near Droitwich.

The event was exclusively for DDC account customers.

Rutter said: “I had a fantastic day out at Woodland View. The event was well organised and I can’t thank Dulux Decorator Centres enough for putting on such a superb fishing event.

“I was delighted to come in second place but I really didn’t expect it - this was definitely an added bonus.”

The match was fished on Front and Back Deans, Aries and Ghost Pool, where the pools are all fully oxygenated to ensure good year-round sport and are full of Carp, Perch, Roach, Rudd and Crucians making a great day’s fishing.

Rutter was presented with a table wine cooler and £40 for his success.
