A ton winning weight is required to win todays match.

Todays anglers were greeted with a cold breezy wind and a motionless lake so the omens were not looking good for the anglers today and with the carp refusing to feed in any numbers it was going to be decided on who would have skill to temp a carp or two or try and catch some silvers ?.

The answer to that question was John Cowling who was fishing end peg 8 in the gap between the big and small lake and he had an enjoyable days fishing on the bomb fishing double corn hookbait along the far bank grasses and was rewarded with 19 small carp for his winning weight of 107-15 {well done John]. In second place and a long way back was John Brady on peg 22 who managed to put together a mixed bag of carp and silvers for his weight of 34-05 followed by Geoff Edwards on peg 30 with 16-15.

The main issues today were apart from the cold weather were the falling leaves on the lake making float fishing on the pole a bit of the challenge but Rolfslake showed if you come down any weight is possible as the carp are happy to feed even in very cold weather.
