Rolfslake Pairs series 2016 Round 1
Pairs winter series Round 1
Today saw the start of the Rolfslake 2016 pairs series down the lake. The series would see the teams fish one for carp and the others for silvers over 6 matches with the winner being the team with the lowest points score at the end, and in the event of a tie on points will be decided on weight.
There were 8 teams competing this year with the lake being split into two sections, A Section was the carp section with pegs 7,14,16,18,22,24,26 and 34 making up this section with B section the silvers section being 9,10,13,28,30,32,36 and 38..
Today’s match saw two peg to peg battles to claim first place in both the carp and silvers section. The carp section saw Andy Quarmby and Geoff Bond battle it out on pegs 16 and 18 which was won by Geoff with his weight of 63-10 to Andy’s 60-10.
The silvers section saw two top silver fish anglers Steve Waters on peg 9 and Anthony Flint on 10 fish a really tight match with Anthony taking a big lead at the start catching roach up to a pound and then saw Steve make a great comback at the end managing to catch a few bream. After a tough wet 5 hours Steve put 19-08 on the scales but fell one roach short to Anthony’s 19-10 in a right scrap in the big lake.
After round one Andy and Anthony are top with 3 points with the chasing pack only 3 points behind.
Roll on round two.
