Rolfslake Sunday Open 22nd March 2015

The Carp start to show in todays match.

Today saw a much improved attendance with 23 eager anglers hoping that the Rolfslake carp would start to make an appearance. The good thing today was that the anglers were going to be properly spread around both the big and small lake and that in turn would start to move the fish about and hopfully away from the flyer pegs 18 and 22 which had show great consistency these last 8 weeks.

Alas today was no different as on a sunny and warm day but with a cool breeze all it did was to bring the previously dormant carp back to life but only to torment the anglers and sunbathe all around the lake.

Todays winner was Kev Simpson who had drawn form peg 18 on the motorway bank and Kev had an enjoyable day no doubt catching and losing a few but caught carp to double figures in his final weight of 145-01 {well done Kev}. In second place and having a good view of Kev was lake regular Derek Hammond on opposite peg 22 and Derek also had fish to double figures in his weight of 100-03.

As is always the case prior to the forthcoming Easter festival the carp have started to wake up and I expect to see the weight really move on in the next week or so as we are now starting to get some settled weather so get down if you fancy catching a big carp or ton plus weight now should be the time for that.
