Today the anglers were greeted with a lake full of cruising carp which were going to tease the 9 anglers down the lake by being visible but by not feeding for any length of time. Also added to the fact that the lake was covered with the blossom off the trees which the carp were happy to try and feed on and you know the anglers were going to have a tough day.

John tells me that the winner today was John Walker fresh from his Angling Times feature last Tuesday and who was fishing peg 13 in todays match. Jon fished the pole with pellet to catch his carp but it was hard going to keep the fish coming and after 5 hours Jon ended with a modest  61-14 weight for Rolfslske but still a match win { well done Jon }.

After visiting the lake on Friday there were literaly hundreds of carp cruising around the lake just waiting for the right conditions to start feeding properly and i expect the first big weight of the year a 200lb + to be only a week or two away. Coupled with the fact that the Wednesday opens have a later start time now this always brings out the big weights and also a bigger attendance in these matches, so if you want to catch a PB match weight or a double figure carp now will start to be your best chance of both.

9 fished todays match.
