Stallance Res Result – Inter-club v Linton
The first time we had been to the Linton waters, and consensus was that the small lake would probably fish well if drawn on it, and Ryan did well by drawing peg 17 from the 7:15am draw, the first on the small lake.
The depth varied between 4-5ft and it was very cloudy after a bit of rain, so Ryan decided to go out on the pole feeding 2 lines and down the margin. Not long to set up, as the match started at 8:00am.
After feeding the long line, at the whistle, it took about 25 minutes before his first bite, which would have probably been his best fish of the day had it not spat out the hook.
Fishing 6mm expanders on the hook, over a bed of hemp and ground bait, the bites came very slowly. He started to catch small carp up to about 1lb, and by 11:00, he had about 6 in the net. Things really slowed up, probably due to the N/E wind blowing down the lake, but the odd small fish did show.
At around 1pm, an hour to go, he stared to fish down the edge, which started to produce quickly, and slightly better quality than the last few hours.
As the whistle went at 2pm, it was clear that it had been a tough day for most people, but with the exception of 1 angler on the main reservoir, the small lake had fished better.
A great result for Ryan finishing 2nd overall, and 1st out of the MVAS team, but this wasn’t enough to win against Linton.
