Day 2
Almost identical conditions as Day 1, lifting mist and a overcast skies, greeted the 132 competitors as they left the harbour. However, unlike Day 1 the boats seemed to be pretty evenly split, half opting to turn right into the main basin and half turning left drifting from the Sailing Club into Yellowstone bay on the prevailing south south easterly breeze. Fish were a little more difficult to come by during the morning session, but competition leaders Blagdon Fly Fishers seemed to have it cracked with Mark Withyman scoring well as was Martin Cottis who was having a rare old ding dong with boat partner, Rio Masters teamster, Ron Gent with Ron leading 6-5 just before lunch. Team Vision’s Tom Davies was also fishing well bringing 5 fish to the boat during the morning session. The afternoon session should prove to be the decider as it was in Day 1 when Rob Sosbe brought 5 fish to the boat in a blistering 15 minutes of fishing during the last hour of the competition drifting into Yellowstone Bay.
Full match report, results and pictures live this evening.
