Lexus Team 1st day Results
Day 2 - 13:00hrs
The 2nd day of this year's Lexus Team Championships Final is now underway. Stronger winds and bright skies - normally the kiss-of-death for fly fishing - greeted the 126 anglers this morning. Once again, the majority of the boats headed for the main basin, but 9 brave souls went straightr down the South Arm and I think they have made a good decision - but time will tell!
Top Team yesterday were West Country nymph and dry fly specialists Blagdon Flyfishers, with Rio Masters 2nd and Orvis Alba Flyfishers from Scotland 3rd. The rod average was a respectable 3.34 and average weight of trout 2lbs 2ozs. Top individual rod on Day 1 was Martin Barrett of Anglo Welsh Flyfishers - again from the South West of England. Martin is one of the country's top coarse anglers who is quickly building a reputation on the fly fishing circuit.
Here is a run down of the results from Day 1.
