Hare and Hounds Club match 18th July 2010

Today Rolfslake welcomed the Hare and Hounds angling club from the Telford area, and John tells me that the day was overcast and blustery to start with getting sunnier and warm as the day went on. The anglers had their best visit to the lake yet and all the anglers caught fish but coming out in first place was Steve Rouse who was fishing Wednesdays winning peg 7. Steve fished the feeder across to the far bank grasses and caught fish to double figures fishing meat as hookbait and after 5 hours joined the 200+ club with his final weight of 223-00 { well done Steve }.

In second place was Kye Faulkner who was next to Steve on peg 8 and Kye started off down the track but ended up fishing the bush to his left and again had fish to double figures by fishing paste and meat fished on the deck to catch his weight of 158-00 and keep ahead of the chasing pack. Completing the frame and having a good family battle was Andy Braley who was on form peg 16 on the motorway bank and Andy also had good fish which just kept him ahead of his son Kevin with his weight of 140-00 and 10lb clear of Kevin.

Black Bull Angling Club Weekend match.

Today Rolfslake welcomed back Black Bull Angling Club from the Sheffield area to fish their two day match which they normally fish annually. After the recent good weights the anglers were hoping that today the fish were going to have a go but with a very warm day and very little breeze most of the anglers found it quite difficult.

The winner of today’s match was Ray fishing Wednesdays open winning peg 4, and Ray had to work hard to keep the fish coming and after five hours put 124-12 0n the scales for a deserved win {well done Ray }. Hot on Rays heels was Wally on peg 9 who had 108-04 and third was Jack Trew who was fishing peg 32 by the hut who caught the only other ton weight with 100-08.

Results day one.

As the anglers got ready to draw today the weather was again warm but with a breeze coming from the south and it also helped that it was also overcast which normally helps the fishing.

John tells me that the anglers had a much better day with fish being caught all around the lake and the winner today was  Wally who had a great day fishing peg 30 on the car park bank ,and he enjoyed not only fish to double figures but a very well earned winning weight of 206-08 { well done Wally }. In a very close match on the next peg was Judd who was matching Wally fish for fish but just fell short with his weight of 200-08. Completing the frame was Jack Trew who was also in the fish catching area on peg 8 and he also enjoyed a busy match catching across to the far bank but he fell two fish short of his double ton attempt with 181-12.

Ashton Angling Club match 6th June 2010.

Today Rolfslake welcomed Ashton A.C down to the lake from the midlands area and the anglers were hoping that the fish had stopped spawning and were willing to have a feed as the Jinx league match yesterday was really tough.

John tells me that 25 willing anglers set off to their pegs only to find the fish still spawning in the margins so it was very difficult to know what the fish wanted today either a cautious approach or to just to thrash the bait in and suffer plenty of foul hooked fish and very little to show for it. The weather was very warm with a cool breeze and the anglers with a ripple on the water did slightly better that those with flat water in front of them.

The winner today was Jay Davis fishing peg 7 in the gap between the big and small lake and Jay used a combination of the feeder and the pole to put together a very good weight of fish and big fish too catching fish to double figures in Jay’s final bag of 171-08 { well done Jay }. In second place was Andy Morrison on peg 32 by the hut who fished short range 5 -6 metres and down the edge using banded again catching big fish in his weight of 131-04. Completing the frame was Mark Bedford on peg 4 who suffered plenty of lost fish but in the end lined them down the edge to his right using pellet hook bait to catch his weight of 104-14.

John would like to thank all the anglers and hope to see them again soon.
