Day 2 report . Today the returning 24 anglers were greeted with a much colder day with wind and rain also expected so talking to John he tells me that the catches were much lower than yesterday with the exception of Steve Waters on peg 18 who put together a great weight of 184-12 from peg 18, John Bennett on peg 22 with 150-07 and Jon Walker who also caught over a ton with his weight of 114-10 from peg 23. The current leader of the festival is Steve Waters with 3 points but has to fish the dreaded A section tomorrow with Mick Lane also on 3 points but has a better chance as he is fishing B section but they are hotly pursued by 5 other anglers who are are 2 and 3 points behind so it should be an exciting day 3 down the lake tomorrow. Come back to see who will be crowned Rolfslake Easter Festival 2014 Champion. I will be posting more photo’s as they become available.

Today saw the start of the Rolfslake 3 day Easter Festival and with a sellout 24 anglers were hoping to be crowned2014 champion which was won last year by Middy sponsored angler Andy Quarmby.

Before the start John read out all the rules and one major change was that all fish were to be retained in the keepnets with a maximum 100lb net limit and any angler exceeding this would be deducted a penalty weight by how much you were over deducted from the weight limit of 100lb.

With draw called all the anglers made their way to the random draw which would decide the sections for the next three days and quite quickly the anglers called A section the section of death as it had all the big weight specialists in this section so they would be taking points of each other. As for the other two sections B and C it also had class anglers in them but were deemed to be more fairer so this was going to be a great battle.

The winner of A section today was Mark Newbold on peg 34 in the small lake and Mark had an eventful match but softened with a massive carp of 20-04 in his eventual weight of 161-06. B section was a very close battle by two of Rolfslake’s serial match winners Steve Waters and Dave Whiteman which would be eventually won by Dave with his weight of 112-11 to Steve’s 110-01 but Steve will rue the many lost fish on peg 9 today.

The star angler of the day was Malc Doyle on little favoured peg 17 and Malc put on a master class of short range paste fishing on his top kit to record the top weight of the day with 244-01 topped with a big common of 20-09 amongst his many othe big doubles.

Tomorrow the anglers move to the next section in their sequence hoping to either repair the damage caused by todays results or push forwards for another good days fishing.

Come back tomorrow for days 2 results.

Also i will be posting some more photo’s from todays match.
