Last updated 13:29, Thursday, 26 June 2008
FOURTEEN pairs took part in the second heat of the Kielder Water WaterAid competition. A final rod average for the day of 2.8 fish per person made for a tight finish with seven final places up for grabs.
Tactics for the day involved intermediate lines coupled with orange blobs, cats whiskers and despite the windy conditions a good percentage of fish were taken on traditional wet flies.
Results: 1, David Carrick and John Armstrong (11 fish for 19lb 12oz); 2, Alistair Baker and Phil Wagget (11 fish for 19lb 9oz); 3, Brian Lillie and Phil Rippon (9 fish for 16lb 15oz); 4, Darren Howie and Bill Renton (11 fish for 16lb 5oz); 5, Blythe Palmer and Richard Landsbury (8 fish for 13lb 13oz); 6, Peter Barnes and Michael Firth (8 fish for 11lb 3oz); 7, Raymond Appleby and Stephen Appleby (5 fish for 7lb 11oz).
