The Holt SAC Early Autumn Open Results

20 anglers fished the open at Kelling this year but results were poor with only 8 anglers returning with fish, and of these only one or two fish was enough to secure a place.Lets hope things improve in the coming weeks and we can all enjoy some sport, well done to those who did manage to catch.

Results

Three juniors fished the final leg of the junior summer league at the Foryd.

The heavy rain of the last few days meant the water was racing downstream, even half way through the flood, bringing all sorts of rubbish with it. The winds had dropped and it was dry for a change but I wasnt banking on there being any fish feeding, we gave it a go anyway.

Within the first half hour, Tom and Elliot had both missed bites, and landed a fish each, maybe it wasnt all doom and gloom 

Tom won the match with 2 Eels and 2Flounders for 128 cms.
Elliot was second with a Flounder and an Eel for 69 cms and Stephen was third but unfortunately didnt manage to catch.

These placings led to a tie at the top of the final league table, between Tom and Elliot, both on 72 points. 

Elliot took the title with a total length of 617 cms over the 5 matches, 105 cms ahead of Tom. ( I knew those dropped Eels at Flint and Benarth would be costly for Tom!) Stephen was third in the league with 37 points and Evan fourth with 10.

Many thanks to the crew of Bass Hunter who kindly donated a starter beach kit, they had won at an Open recently, which was awarded to Elliot for winning the league.

I hope the ki ds enjoyed all the matches. There were fish caught at every match, so hopefully we can repeat it in the winter league.
