War Weather Brings Fish On For Collings Pairs

The Collings Pairs Match took place on Sunday 5th July at the New Barlows Lake, Tadley. Fifteen anglers took part on what started out as a warm but overcast morning. Once the pegs had been drawn and the pairings worked out, each individual took their postion on the bank to set up and await the whistle. The cloudy skys finally gave way around mid day allowing the sun to come through although this brought with it, a breeze that prooved gusty at times. Overall the lake fish reasonably well but with quiet periods. Every angler caught fish and the results are below.
