Gary Horne, fresh from Egypt.
Gary Horne has 2 matches a year down the lake and today was the first one. 23 of Gary’s friends turned up at the lake hoping for a few fish. The weather at the start of the match was quite sunny but rain was forecast for later in the day.
A nice start to the day
Getting ready for the draw
Dive in quick ...
Nick Horne does not fish the lake very often but always seems to draw peg 18 or 32. Guess where he was today….
Nick on peg 32 again 😀
The fishing today was very patchy, people would have a few fish and then have to wait ages for a bite. It was hard to put a good run of fish together. People were having to swap and change swims to get the fish. While the sun was out the top end of the big lake was black with cruising and topping fish. Steve on peg 34 was the only person catching steadily through the match.

Looking down the carpark bank towards 32
20 minutes before the end of the match we had a storm hit the lake. The wind picked up and it rained very heavily. Everyone and everything was soaked, it lasted about 30 minute and then the sun came back up and the lake went flat calm in time for the weigh in…bloody typical.
