Lake View anglers face tough conditions

Wednesday 21st October - With rain all day and not many fish showing it proved a difficult day for most anglers. John Cooke did eventually manage to find fish from peg 1 on stream and took the match by some margin.

Fishing to the platform on peg 2 with maggot he found some good sized F1’s and carp to finish with 55lbs. Brian Nicholls took the other section from peg 7 where he had a mixed bag including a 2lb perch and some good barble ending with 24lbs.

The rest on stream struggled to get into double figures.

On river it was not much better but Micky West again caught late on from peg 16 fishing down the track with pellet and maggot taking the lake with 39lbs.

The other section was taken by Gary Smith who had a bonus 10lbs mirror five minutes from the end on peg 4 finishing with 28lbs.

Saturday 24th October - With strong winds and lots of leaves blocking certain parts of canal it was difficult to fish for some.

Mark Bowles on peg 17 was able to fish to the margins and came out top with 50lbs.

At the other end of the lake on peg 30 Martin Quilter had a bonus last 15 minutes finding three good fish to make up his weight to 37lbs for second.

Third on the lake was Micky West with 25lbs from peg 20. The other section winner was Roy Toulson on peg 9 with just 17lbs.
