The competition started at 10am and even before I had bought my ticket Jay Nicholls had a rainbow of over 3lb from Kingfisher and Bob Eccles had netted two others from the Big Osprey.
As it was very busy on the 'top' lakes - Kingfisher, Osprey & Big Osprey, I decided to have a few casts on Heron Lake. With no anglers there at all I had plenty of choice of bank! I was using a black Kennick Killer and had several plucks & pulls before landing one of 2lb 5oz. Bob Prout had one from Little Heron.
The owner of Tavistock Fishery, Abigail, generously gave a prize of a landing net for the winner and, as Jay's trout was within 3/8oz of Pete's winning trout, she gave him a baseball cap, too. Much appreciated by us all.

As with all our away-day competitions it is the biggest fish that wins.

A very close second with a bag of five rainbows was Jay Nicholls - the biggest at 3lb 4oz, 2 others at 3lb and another 2 at 2lb 12oz.
Bob Prout had two rainbows best 3lb 1/2oz
Bob Eccles took 4 trout between 2lb 8oz and 3lb
