Well a tale of two ends, with both Spey and Marsh canals throwing up 30lb+ weights if you were pegged at the right end. Over 407lb of fish caught at an average of over 17.7lb but a noticable difference in the spread of carp, double figures being good in some areas and not even close in others.
Results
1st Andy Thompson 48.7lb
2nd Ian Hughes 42.6lb
3rd Ian Lloyd 38.0lb
Sec S - Jeff Grantham 31.2lb
Sec M - Steve Brew 34.4lb
Andy Thompson started across catching F1's on Spey 5 but soon got them lined up at 3m in the right hand margin adding a few better samples on pellet to finish with 48.7lb. Ian "Yozzer" Hughes clinched second from Spey 2 with his usual display of short pole prowess, giving it all of 5mins on the far bank before bagging 42.6lb down the right hand margin on corn and paste. Ian Lloyd managed to break the Spey strangle hold on Marsh 3 and took third with 38.0lb on pellet on long and short pole on pellet.
Section wins went to Steve Brew with 34.4lb on Marsh 2 and Jeff Grantham with 31.2lb on Spey 9. With another 30lb+ weight on each canal it really was defintely about drawing the right end.
The majority of members fished their knockouts and Round 2 is to be completed on or before Larford 12th June.
At least I took a £1 off Yozzer he turned his back on me all day to fish the margin and he was convinced I had beaten him........had to take a side bet with 2 hours to go as I knew he had mullered me really!!! With Andy Thompson on my other side I was given a right seeing to, beaten either side and I was on the Golden Peg as well ("rollover" was a widely used phrase at the weight in!!!)
Conway next week but methinks it'll be carp not roach fishing for a change!!!
