With the really low temperatures at the lake this weekend all matches have been cancelled. The ice is very thick and conditions are very dangerous.
Its supposed to be thawing out through the week. Lets hope its nice for the next round of the Spring League this Sunday.
John would like to let everyone know that this round will still take place. If in doubt please ring John.
Is that big enough for you Michael 😛
A cold day down the lake today but strangely no ice on the lake despite minus temperatures.Very hard fishing today down the lake for the anglers.
Today’s winner Pete Archer has not been down the lake for a while but returned to take the win fishing from peg 28. Pete was using maggot on the pole trying for silvers but go plagued with those pesky carp.
Neil Riddy managed to catch 3 carp for his weight from last Sundays winning peg, Peg 13. Neil is currently the peg king for peg 13 so knows how to fish it but the carp had other idea’s today.
Completing the frame was Dave Wightman fishing from peg 10. Dave’s weigh was made up completely of silver fish, he also had 3 bonus skimmers to help build his weight.

The temperature is set to drop further still and then start to rise again Saturday so hopefully it wont be too cold for everyone fishing the second round of the Spring Pairs League this Sunday.
There is an Open match this Saturday also.
Thanks for Reading, Eddie, John and Simon.
