Many thanks for the below report from Rodney Wevill of the Fluff Chuckers.
October 12th saw the Fluff Chuckers / SWLT Brown trout masters round 3 at Roadford lake.
This was also the concluding round to end the series and Crown the 2024 Brown trout masters.
The anglers were faced with varying weather, starting with little wind and calm water, then windy and overcast and finally bright sunshine and windy.
We started at 8am
Most of the fish were caught in the first 4 hours
With a few fish in the afternoon.
A total of 29 Browns were caught and several perch.
Finish time was 5pm and back to the main car park to workout the scores and hold the prize giving.
Kevin Sellar was the winner of the 3rd round with 7 nice browns and received a Cortland UK limited edition peach Line and some goodies
Phillip Hoskin won the biggest fish with a stunning 46cm Brown and won a cortland line and goodies
Roger Truscott was biggest fish runner up
And also equal most fish runner up with Wayne Thomas and shared some wonderful Lakedown Brewing Co. & Tap Room ale.
Roger Truscott was leading the series coming into round 3, with only Keith Burnett in 2nd having any realistic chance of upsetting the leader board.
But overall placing 3rd to 6th changed about a lot during the day.
Roger built a big lead in the first round back in March at his local and beloved colliford lake and showing his skills and knowledge in the 2 & 3rd rounds came out the overall winner and received the Fluff Chuckers – Fly Fishing Fanatics / Trout Fishing South West Lakes Trust 2024 Brown Trout Master trophy and All waters 2025 season permit, great prizes for a very well deserved winner.
Well done Roger.
Fluff Chuckers would like to thank South West Lakes Trust for partnering up with us to create this new event for 2024.
Fluff Chuckers would also like the give a massive big thank you to YETI Europe , Turrall Flies and Lakedown Brewing Co & tap room for your sponsoring of this series, it really wouldn’t be the same without your help.
We would also like to say this new series has been a good success. Like all Fluff Chuckers events the aim is to get like minded anglers together for fun on the water whatever your ability.
Yes there’s a competitive side to the day but fun is first, so you don’t need to feel you need to be a pro to take part.
We are extremely happy to say there will be a 2025 Fluff Chuckers / SWLT. brown trout master series and the dates are now released.
In the past couple years south west lakes trust have really worked on improving the trout fishing on their waters, the brown trout fishing has been superb on all their waters and credit where credits due they have got it right.
So please support them, whether it’s entering an event or to fish one of their Trout waters Brown or Rainbow.
A few years ago we where moaning at them, they have listened so support them and help them secure a stronger better future for all.
Happy end of Brown trout season
