CLUB FIXTURES 2011

This weekend, 12/13 June saw the annual Willis Worms Match held here at Holgan Farm. This annual event usually attracts a field from far and wide due to the £500 added to the prize fund by the sponsor, Denzil Thorpe of Willis Worms.

30 anglers were split between the Carp and Match Lakes and fished both lakes over the 2 days, the only stipulation being caster and worm only allowed.

Results are as follows:

1st Tim Peters (Leeds) 217-6

2nd Paul Williams 195-2

3rd Stu Hipkins 161-6

4th Les Thompson 160-8

5th Roger Summerscales 158-5

6th John Howell 158-2

Heaviest Fish Ritchie Hogan 13-8 (£100 prize)

No one expects hot balmy days when fishing the Autumn Festival but even the most hardy of us didn't expect the weather that was thrown at us this past week. With high winds and torrential rain on an almost daily basis it made fishing uncomfortable to say the least but fish it we did.

The wind made bait presentation difficult at long distances and most anglers favoured the short pole line or fished the tip. Unfortunately the weather did affect the results and only one 100lb+ catch was recorded throughout the week.
