Rolfslake Easter Festival Day 1

 The man with Top Tackle wins today’s match.

Today saw the start of the popular Rolfslake Easter festival which is fished over three days.

This year saw 21 anglers split into three sections of 7 ( A Section 34,38,40,2,4,5 and 7 ) ( B Section 8,9,10,13,28,30 and 32) ( C Section 14,15,17,18,22,24 and 26).

The scoring system goes from 1 point for who wins the section down to 7 points for who comes last in section. The angler who has the lowest points total over 3 days will be crowned champion and in the event of a draw will be decided on weight total.

Today’s match was a vast improvement on yesterday’s open with carp.being caught from all around the lake and sections wins  being decided by just one fish.

Todays overall winning was Top Tackles angler Jack Griffiths who was fishing consistent peg 14 in C Section.  Jack caught most of his fish at long range fishing both shallow and fishing on the deck.

Jack caught big fish to double figures in his final weight of 104-03 and collected that valuable 1 point.

Also joining Jack winning their sections on 1 point were Andy Quarmby and Mark Newbold  but only just as the lake fish remarkably fair in all sections.

Tomorrow see’s the anglers move onto the next section hoping to maintain or improve on their day 1 results.
