Sunday 13th May Clevedon Club Match Woodland Lake Trinity Waters

What a great day to be outdoors, pity the fishing was not as good as the weather, I had 3 carp on the wag up in the water for a total weight of just over 20lb. They were breaking the surface most of the day but there was a massive fly hatch (should have brought the fly gear!). I did loose 4 and then another one in the margins but would prob not have done me any good as pegs with plenty of room produced the goods. Press report sent off as follows;

Clevedon Freshwater Angling Club returned to Woodland Lake on the Trinity Waters complex near Bridgwater on Sunday 13^th May as part of their continuing match programme. There was a good turnout and for the first time in weeks T shirts were the order of the day in the warm sunshine and light breeze. Fish could be clearly seen breaking the surface of the lake but catching them was far from easy. Top angler on the day and the man to beat at the moment was assistant match secretary Adie Baker who off peg 24 fished pellet and paste at depth 13 meters out for a matching winning 75lb 9oz of carp and silver fish. Second and on peg 6 was venue expert Andy Hembrow who used his local knowledge and took advantage of an end peg to put 74lb 5oz of carp on the scales. Andy caught the majority of his fish presenting pellet shallow up in the water at 14 meters. Glenn Calvert was 3^rd with 64lb 2oz and done well to catch up on the leaders and who had nothing in the net after 2 hours. The next match is on Sunday 20^th May at Apex Lake near Highbridge, for more info visit http://clevedon-fwac.webs.com/
