Match 5 of the summer league saw a bit of early confusion with a double booking on the original venue, but 17 anglers still made their way to Kestrel Lake at Woodland Lakes near Thirsk.
Conditions proved far from easy, with a strong wind playing a major role throughout the day. Many anglers struggled to present their bait effectively in the blustery conditions, making it a real test of watercraft and patience. However, those fortunate enough to find some shelter and calmer water were able to make the most of it and put together some impressive weights.
Continuing his incredible run of form, Ian Hutchinson made it five wins on the bounce, drawing peg 1 and putting together a fantastic winning weight of 140lb 6oz.
In second place was Brett Rowson (apologies if spelling is incorrect), who made the most of the next peg along, peg 3, finishing with 103lb 1oz.
Third place went to Gaz Wood from peg 21, weighing in 99lb 2oz.
Section winners on the day were:
- Neil Vickery
- Jonny Richards
- Jack Jones
- Rob Urry
Well done to everyone who battled the conditions!
