The\u00a0Rolfslake fish decide to have a feed today.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Today saw the start of the 2013 Rolfslake Easter Festival and the expectations were that the fish would finally have a feed as in the preceeding weeks the lake had fished really hard.<\/p>\n

After a discussion about payouts at the start due to a small turnout than expected the anglers from far and wide got down to the business of drawing their section sequence for the next three days and who their opposition were going to be. The festival is decided on points with the winner of each section getting one point and the last in section gets 6 points ,so the angler with the lowest points score over three days wins the festival.<\/p>\n

As i arrived towards the end of the match John tells me the anglers were greeted with a bright warm day turning cold and windy towards the end { i can vouch for that as i was freezing just doing the weights }. Dave Whiteman on 8 was the first to catch a carp on 8 closley followed by Danny Deakin on 7 but for the rest it was a case of being patient and hoping the carp would turn up. On peg 38 Anthony Flint was giving a great demonstration of catching silvers fishing at 13 metres as i had never seen a pole been shipped back so fast as Anthony caught over 100 silver fish for his final weight of 42-05 which did include one small carp.<\/p>\n

In the main lake Andy Quarmby was catching all that swam as he caught carp fishing long {16 metres } down his right hand edge and bream and perch fishing 13 metres out in front for his weight of 78-12. Chris Telling on 10 was into a run of bream by feeding worn and even managed to catch a carp to boot but as it got calmer the bited were harder to come by.<\/p>\n

The main battle for top spot today was between Geoff Edwards on 16 and Kevan Orr { Hall Bait an Tackle } on 24 straight opposite who caught big carp between them. Kevan was fishing long straight out fishing maggot for his 8 carp to big double figures which was even more impressive considering the windy conditions for his final weight of 91-02 and just one small carp in front of Geoff { Reading Angling Centre } who was fishing corn at 16 metres but Geoff caught 7 carp but they were\u00a0slightly bigger for his final weight of 87-10.<\/p>\n

Normally on these festivals the fishing gets better on days 2 and 3 as the fish get used to anglers fishing all around the lake and putting feed in so i have a good feeling that the weights and weather will improve and i think that all the anglers are still in with a chance of victory as long as they have a plan B.<\/p>\n

We will do our best to keep you all informed with the weights as quickly as possible and will try also to get some photos as well.<\/p>\n
