Rolfslake Sunday Open 2nd April 2017
Biggest weight of the year so far.
Today saw 13 anglers fish Rolfslake Sunday Open on a mild day for a change.
With the Easter festival approaching, it was an opportunity for the competing anglers to get in tune with the fishes current moods and feeding pattern.
Today’s winner was current Festival champion Anthony Flint who today drew peg 8 in the chanel between the big and small lake.
Anthony started on the 6 metre line snaring a couple of big carp but then changed to a 14 metre line towards peg 32 as it was vacant. In this swim Anthony caught 7 bream but when fished 16 metre against the far bank he added another 26 carp all caught on pellet for his great weight of 212-00.
In second place was Andy Quarmby who also had a great day fishing on form peg 10 on the motorway bank. Andy also had big fish in his final weight of 185-00 and was only 2 fish off victory.
Completing the frame was Dan Blackwell who was fishing peg 38 and after a slow half of the match manage to line a few carp up fishing down the edge. Dan had carp to 18lb in his weight of 104-03.
Today’s winner Drennan Bordon’s Anthony Flint.
Third place Angler Dan Blackwell with a small Rolfslake carp of 18lb.
