Orchard Lakes – CAC match result (25.03.2022)
Twelve members took advantage of the new CAC permit to visit Orchard Match Lake near Bashley. Catches were modest as the water had hosted competitions three days in a row, but members enjoyed the warm spring sunshine and caught F1s, ide and barbel alongside the more usual carp, to make for an interesting match. Alan Snook (18lb 8oz) was the clear winner with a mix of carp, F1s and a couple of barbel at peg 6. Newcomer Nigel Rasey (15lb) sat it out most of the day on the feeder to the far bank on peg 10 taking around six carp and John Reed (14lb 6oz) had a range of carp and F1s from end peg 24.
