Rolfslake Wednesday Open 25th March 2015

A chilly day down the lake.

After a few days of mild weather it was disappointing to see it get much colder in todays midweek open. It was decided to not peg the two current form pegs 18 and 22 giving hopefully the pegs a rest and hopefully move the fish up through the big lake.

As the match started there were literally 100’s of carp cruising around on the top eating the blossom that was falling of the bushes on the carpark bank but at least you  could see your target for a change.

The story of the match with a top carp weight and a top silver weight it gave the anglers a choice of what they wanted to target and the top weight of silvers today went to Pat Pritchard on peg 8. Pat tells me that had he had more than a half pint of casters he could of pushed his weight to over 40lb as when he ran out and fished maggots the roach got much smaller in size , but he still managed a nice mixed bag of chub, bream, perch and roach for his weight of 26-14.

Winning the carp match was Graham Ridgely on peg 24 on the car park bank and Graham fished the bomb both down the edge and towards peg 22 where there were stacks of cruising carp and many more down below to catch his 8 carp to double figures for his weight of 74-09 {well done Graham }.
