AW/FM North Of England Heat

[NickH]

Fished at Rutland on Sat 29th, a slightly cooler than of late Northerly knocked the buzzer hatches back a bit but the results were still pretty impressive :-
A rod average of 6.03 (not bad for an 8 fish limit !)
Average weight 2lb 8oz
Best fish a 3-15 Rainbow by Lindsay Simpson of the Soldier Palmers.
Best bag 25-4 (22-40z without the time bonus of 1lb/hr) taken by John Calvert of Masterline Stocks "A"

The heat was won by Masterline Stocks "A" who all achieved limit bags and some impressive time bonuses.
Other qualifiers (in order of merit)
Fish Hawks
Airflo Rutland Raiders
Masterline Esthwaite Consett Invicta
Ashington Kingfishers
Soldier Palmers
Peregrine Fly Fishers
Masterline Stocks "B"

In all 15 teams fished a very enjoyable match, the top method was undoutedly Buzzers with the "hot" areas being Normanton Bank, Sykes lane (a lot of the big stockies came from this area and were targeted by the more succesful teams) and Yellowstone bay.

Is there a web site that has the full results listed? Fulling Mill or the Anglian Water sites?

Nick, give my regards to John Calvert next time you see him. I fished with him in the "National" last year and had a good day with him.

See you in Killarney mate!
