Match Report No 4 – By Ian Owen
Date: 22-10-2016
Venue: Stafford Moor – Tanners
This match saw the anglers go to the much loved Stafford Moor Tanners lake.
A match venue which had seen some big hauls over the summer months but with the very dramatic drop in temperature it would be a testing day for all taking part.
A cold and foggy outlook but with the sun shine trying to break through and warm the water up.
The match was as predicted very slow however the silvers where coming out and Ian Owen was slowly making an early impact having caught some very nice roach and skimmers.
Keith Copland also started to catch having attracted the perch, also catching was Craig Lamey, it appeared this could be a three horse race with no carp showing at this time.
As the day went on it was the same situation as the three guys kept catching although slowly and still not managing to attract the much anticipated carp.
A great match at a lovely venue ended up seeing all silvers. The results:
1st Place – Ian Owen 9lb 10oz
2nd place – Criag Lamey 8lb 4oz
3rd place – Keith Copeland 6lb 4oz
Keith Copeland
Great fishing well done boys off to Hair Pie next week.
