Well a snowy but surprisingly ice free Kingfisher met the nine brave souls (stupid fools) for round six of the Winter League. This venue, like Conway seems to completely reverse the rules and an excellent match alround was had with over 32lb per man being the average and that with 4' of snow on the ground.
Ian Simpson drew the far end just on the tip of the island and suffered a slow start round the island but found carp fishing long into the deep open water on corn or maggot over micros and had two spells were it was a fish every drop in for a runaway 79.6lb win.
Jeff Gratham drew the first island as you walk on and fished pellet and maggot for a real mixed bag of 39.1lb including carp, chub, skimmers and roach for second just ahead of Ian Lloyd who drew the far bank on the aerator and fished pellet for carp and skimmers and 37.5lb for 3rd. Backing weights were 35lb, 32lb, 29lb from alround the lake and included some great chub especially Rick Keeley who had a dozen some over 3lb.
Its back to Conway for the final three Winter League matches but I have to say I think we may have found a winter gem for next year but then I would say that, fished it twice in ice and snow and caught over 160lb....wow!
Result
1st - Ian Simpson - 79.6lb
2nd - Jeff Grantham - 39.1lb
3rd - Ian Lloyd - 37.5lb
