What a day we have had today on Dartmoor. The high winds never came even though it was windy enough, but the rain was extremely heavy and tested all our waterproof gear. And by and large most of the jackets failed at some point. Funny that the non fishing gear worked a lot better than the ultra expensive stuff. We signed on at 8.30 for a 9 am start and a 5pm finish.
A real close day for three anglers, the series leader Roger Truscott , and Wayne Thomas and Rodney Wevill all shadowing each others catch totals and Wayne and Rodders neck on neck for biggest fish of the day.
By the end of the day Wayne came out on top with 339cm total length and 10 fish, Rodders runner up also on 10 fish and a total length of 336cm and Roger Third also on 10 fish and a total length of 289cm
Rodders taking the biggest fish , with a very nice 48cm from Wayne’s 47cm.
John Huckings coming in Fourth with 4 fish.
All the other anglers sharing out the points with 3, 2, 1 fish and a couple blanks.
As always a special thank you to Turrall Flies the main sponsor, YETI Europe, Lakedown Brewing Co. & Tap Room, Trout Fishing South West Lakes Trust our partners in these events, thank you for all your continued support
And thank you to all the anglers that turned up and gave it a go and had some fun even if a damp day .
