1st garnfrwdd winter league competition

Today me Alan and Dai fished in the first competition of the year at Garnfrwdd trout fishery.
I drew a good first peg but was hampered by the wind but I managed to catch two fish from the first 1 brown and 2 rainbows. There was a good turn out today most where regulars but there were also a few new faces which is always a good thing, I caught one on the next peg and then did have a fish until the first peg after break. I manage to catch 6 on that peg two browns and four rainbows so that was a good peg for me then I move to peg 19 and in the first couple of cast hooked into another two browns. my first two fish where taken on a white u.v extreme lure and the rest where taken on a black zonker fished on a slow figure of eight retrieve.

THE RESULTS

1ST Chris Jones                16 fish 3 browns and 13 rainbows
2ND Matthew Pate (me)   11 fish 5 browns and 6 rainbows
3RD Lee Tatton                10 fish 3 browns and 7 rainbows
