Rolfslake Wednesday Open 7th July 2010

Today as i arrived at the lake to watch as i was working late i got to see just the last hour and a half of the match but could see anglers catching all around the lake.

The winner today was Vespe sponsored angler Chris Telling who had drawn form peg 32 by the hut on the car park bank, and as i sat behind him to watch he had told me he had caught 14 fish. Chris today caught fishing two lines one behind the bush to his left and the other at a range of 6 metres in line with peg 9, and fished both with his trademark paste hook bait to catch fish to double figures in his final weight of 248-08.

In second place was Nick Merry on peg 8 who started fishing across at 16 metres against the grasses and caught small carp but a switch to the bush to his left fishing with a combination of pellet and paste brought a flurry of carp visiting Nick’s keepnet and as the match reached the last hour he was catching a fish a cast but in the end fell a few fish short of victory with 211-12

In third place was lake owner John Bennett who was lucky to draw peg 9 again as his tackle was already ready for him as he had drawn it quite alot recently so it was not going to take a long time to set up. John fished as ususal down the edge to his right but also fished a 5 metre line straight out in front and by using paste also caught big fish in his weight of 174-12.
