Thank You to our visitors to Rolfslake.com

bannerpauline

On behalf of John,Simon and me {Eddie} we would like to thank our visitors to Rolfslake.com as in our 5 and a half years of exsistence we have had over 250,000 visits to our website which considering it is on a lake with only 37 fishable pegs that is fantastic.

The website was revamped from the old Rolfslake.co.uk by the brains behind the operation Simon Mound and between the three of us we have tried to give our visitors an enjoyable site to visit with videos, photographs and a bit of banter between the regulars via the comments posted.

The popularity of the lake has seen many of the angling magazines frequently visit the lake for features using many of the big names around Steve Ringer, Jon Arthur, Martin Bowler and Dean Macey just to name a few.

The lake also held the Drennan Cup semi final in 2012 which was one of the biggest weights recorded in the competition for one round and has also seen Jon Walker record one of the biggest live match weight 389-00 that Match Fishing magazine has ever seen.

We try to promote local talent on the website and we have raised the profile of some of our sponsored visitors which in turn have given them exposure through their own features recorded down the lake.

None of the lakes continued success would be without the thousands of anglers that visit the lake in Holton Oxford through club matches, open matches and private bookings.

John has also been responsible together with our lake regular Steve Waters {Drennan} in improving the lakes relationship with local tackle company Drennan International in aquiring tackle prizes for our recent Easter Festival.

Here is to the next 5 years of success of Rolfslake.com

Thanks for reading John, Simon and Eddie.

Rolfslake Wednesday Open 29th April 2015

20130501_140816

Cold day down the lake.

Today saw 9 anglers down the lake and it was the small lake that was selected by John for todays match as there had been good weights there last Sunday.

The story of the match saw a very slow start for 7 of the anglers with the exception of Mark Newbold and Graham Ridgley who were into fish very quickly as there was a glimmer of sun on the water making it slightly warmer. Down the bottom of the small lake it was lifeless for most as it was very cold with the wind blowing into peg 39.

The winner today was Mark Newbold on Sundays winning peg 34 and Mark caught on a long line to the rope fishing on the deck fishing pellet and also down the edge also fishing pellet feeding pellet for his weight of 182-04 and included fish mid double figures.

In second place was Dave Wilsden who was on end peg 8 in the channel between big and small lake and Dave also caught fish over 10lb in his weight of 85-00. Completing the frame was Graham Ridgley who caught big carp to 15lb on a combination of bomb and pole fishing pellet feeding pellet.

Todays winner Mark Newbold with 182-04 from peg 34.
