Today Rolfslake welcomed the Hare and Hounds angling club from the Telford area, and John tells me that the day was overcast and blustery to start with getting sunnier and warm as the day went on. The anglers had their best visit to the lake yet and all the anglers caught fish but coming out in first place was Steve Rouse who was fishing Wednesdays winning peg 7. Steve fished the feeder across to the far bank grasses and caught fish to double figures fishing meat as hookbait and after 5 hours joined the 200+ club with his final weight of 223-00 { well done Steve }.

In second place was Kye Faulkner who was next to Steve on peg 8 and Kye started off down the track but ended up fishing the bush to his left and again had fish to double figures by fishing paste and meat fished on the deck to catch his weight of 158-00 and keep ahead of the chasing pack. Completing the frame and having a good family battle was Andy Braley who was on form peg 16 on the motorway bank and Andy also had good fish which just kept him ahead of his son Kevin with his weight of 140-00 and 10lb clear of Kevin.

Results.
