Saturday seen us at Alders Farm Fishery for the Canal & River Trust teams of 3 event.
The 3 we selected to compete were Lyric,Jake and Finley.
First half of the day was fishing for silvers only which turned out to be harder for some, big well done to Fin who snagged a section win for Maximum points on the first half. With lyric placing 2nd in her section. Jake struggled with the silvers but managed a few points.
This meant at the half way point the team were sitting joint 2nd.

Moving on to the 2nd half where anything caught counted. The carp switched on during the afternoon, with Jake and Lyric starting really well landing the carp, with Fin having a few technical problems 🙈
All 3 of them fished extremely well, maximum points for Jake and Lyric during the afternoon..

Overall, the team was 6 points clear for a MATCH WIN 🏆
The Individual match winner of the day was Lyric 👏🏻
Well done to all 3 of you.!
