The colder weather slows the fishing down 

On another well attended open the fishing was slower today but the big carp were still happy to feed.

Today’s winner was last week’s midweek winner Richard Greene who was on peg 38 in the small lake.

Richard again fished his favoured corn hook bait but fishing long towards peg 39 and was rewarded with fish to 17lb in his winning weight of 89-14.

Richards travelling partners today all managed to pick up winning which is not bad considering it is only their second visit to the lake.

Top silver’s weight was Brian Hutchings with 10-11 on peg 34 which is not bad as it is considered an out and out carp peg.

Today saw a mini open in the big lake as there was a memorial match on the small lake.

There were many fish hooked and lost as the carp were in a feeding mood.

Top weight today was Steve Wilson on peg 14 who fished waggler and pole to catch fish to double figures in his weight of 111-07.

Steve fished both margins to speed up his catch rate.

Top carp of the day went to slim who had a lovely 20lb common but even topping that was Gary on peg 24 who caught the first tench seen at the lake in 10 years.
