A strong wind spoils the fishing down the lake today.

John tells me that he expected the fishing to be better today than yesterday for Frank Donachie’s match today but with a strong wind blowing from the small lake to the big lake it made presentation for the anglers very difficult if you were on one of the car park bank swims.

With the fish looking like they had finished spawning { maybe } all the anglers were hoping for a few fish today but John tells me fishing was extremely difficult in the wind as it made presentation hard with anglers having to resort to the tip to get any bites.

Todays winner was Frank Donachie who was on Jekyll and Hide peg 4 as it seems that a good weight only comes off this peg ever comes off this peg ever 3 or 4 matches, but today was Franks day fishing the pole using meat and corn hookbait to catch his fish and during the match Frank caught fish to double figures in his weight of 182-04 for his win { well done Frank }.

12 fished this match.

Results.

The next match is tomorrow on Bank Holiday Monday so if you fancy fishing give John a call.

Until our next report thanks for reading Simon, John and Eddie.

Peg king update .

For our visiting anglers at Rolfslake i would like to give you an update of our theme down the lake of Peg Kings.

Peg Kings are awarded to the angler who posts the highest weight on a peg at that particular moment in time, so you become the Peg King of that Peg. To become King of the lake you need to post the highest weight of all anglers visiting Rolfslake between the 1st of January to the 31st of December which also gets your picture on the main page banner.

It was done as a bit of fun by myself and Simon but has now turned into something of a monster as anglers apart from winning the matches want to be peg king of that peg, so i have put down a few facts about it .

There are currently at Rolfslake,

1 peg out of bounds peg 33

1 peg under construction peg 12

3 pegs with no recorded weights 1,20 and 39

12 peg kings under 100lb

17 peg kings over 100lb

5   peg kings over 200lb

1   peg king over   300lb

The current King of the lake is John Bennett with 300-06 from peg 8.

King of Rolfslake owner John Bennett can anyone beat his weight of 300-06 from peg 8 ?.

The current Silver fish King of the lake and Rolfslake Silver fish lake record holder is Shimano Team Wales sponsored Andy Johnstone with 72-00 caught from peg 17.
