The first round of the Fluff Chuckers / SWLT Brown Trout Masters was held today at Colliford reservoir today. The day started bright, breezy and warm and a good entry of all abilities ready to tackle the browns. The temps dropped as the day went on and the winds gained momentum.
The fishing was a little tougher than on recent days, with lots of hook up only for the fish to come free before being landed. The Cornish brown trout master, 2024 Brown trout master and Colliford specialist Roger Truscott was clear favourite at the start, but there where a few knocking on his the door at the end of the day.
Roger ended up winning the day with 8 fish and a total length of 293 cm, John Huckings new to this years competition a very close second with 8 fish and a total length of 286 cm.
The Fluff Chuckers Tankard for biggest fish going to Keith Burnett with a stunning fish of 46 cm and also new to this year comp Steve Lawes runner up for largest fish. A total of 52 fish to the net and several fish between 40cm to 46 cm making it a very good day.
The new Cortland Hover Fly Lines was a top prize for the winners in round 1.
