Risby Open 6th January 2024
Saturday 6th January Risby Open on Tench & Carp.
Despite the promises of dryer and more settled weather for this week’s open match, the lakes were still carrying 6 inches of flood water and a colour more like the Humber than the usual colour of a freshwater lake.
This clearly had an effect on the carp’s appetite as they were few and far between for the anglers.
Mark (Mags), Magaharan had a rare win with a very respectable 21lbs 10oz off peg 1 on the Carp Pond.
Mags fished the pole with maggots, corn & expanders to catch mainly carp ranging from 3oz to 3lbs.
In a nail-biting photo finish, Steve (Pully) Pulford was next door on peg 3 at 21:08. Pully used maggots on the pole and had a game plan to catch as many silvers as possible. He’d aimed for 10lbs, but thanks to some bonus skimmers and a much bigger stamp of roach, he amassed a fantastic net of ‘silvers’ totalling 18lbs 3oz. Thus was boosted by a carp and a small stockie totalling 3lbs 5oz, to finish agonisingly close with 18lbs 8oz.
Result…
1st Mags, peg 1 Carp, 21:10
2nd, Pully, peg 3 Carp, 21:08.
3rd Boyx, peg 11 Tench, 18:13.

Folly Open 18th Nov 2023
Folly Match today…
Despite having a load of new stockies put in on Thursday 14th November, nothing could’ve made up for the torrential downpour on the Friday night into the early hours of Saturday morning.
As a result of this, it was much tougher than expected…
The rain had been so intense, the water level actually rose by 2 inches during the match!!
Thankfully the new stockies fed fairly well all over the lake, along with the odd resident carp and a few skimmers and roach.
Result…
1st Dave Sharp, peg 25, 42lbs 5oz.
2nd Joss Gilligan, peg 14, 37lbs 4oz.
3rd Robbo, peg 27, 34lbs 9oz.
4th Rich Willey, peg 31, 33lbs 6oz.
Silvers
1st Joss, 11lbs 3oz
2nd Willy Eyre, peg 18, 7lbs 7oz.
3rd Rich Willey, 7lbs 6oz.It’ll fish its nuts off if we have a few days dryer weather.
Folly Open 11th November 2023
Here’s today’s Risby Open Match Result…
Saturday 11th November…
It was a mega hard day on Folly today…
Only 13 hardy souls turned up to fish this week’s”pegged rover”…
Yet again, Robbo cursed his luck at the draw bag with pick No.1 & pick No.11 left in the bag… only to pull out 11th pick for the second week running !!
The very chilly weather meant it was always going to be a tough match and Robbo decided it was going to be a maggot on the pole job & fish for “anything that swims”…
Robbo fished 2 lines at 14.5m, (one at 10 o’clock and the other straight in front), feeding maggots and dampened down micros “little & often”.
Robbo caught a goldfish & a small ghostie, plus a couple of decent skimmers & a rake of roach for 17:06 & a 3rd consecutive win !
Nige Roberts took 2nd place on peg 25 with an all silvers bag totalling 15:09. Nige also fish maggot on the pole and had mainly skimmers and a few roach at 9m and 13m.
Result
1st Robbo, peg 14, 17:06.
2nd Nige Roberts peg 25, 15:09.
3rd James Marshall, peg 18, 15:06
4th, Pully, peg 20, 14:00.
Silvers Match
1st Nige Roberts 15:09
2nd Robbo 12:08
3rd Pully 7:10.
Hope it warms up a bit for next week’s open!!
Tutty’s Risby and Westlands Winter League
Risby and Westlands Lakes Winter league.
Round 3, Sunday 5th Nov.
The Folly Lake
After Saturday’s heavy rain, everyone feared the worst for Round 3.
Sadly the fears were realised as the Lake had risen by approx 10 inches overnight and every peg was under water.
The water was a horrible, muddy, chocolate colour, so a really tough grueller was on the cards, with the only positive thoughts coming from Robbo’s Open Match the previous day.
A big well done to Nick Butler with a very respectable 65-09 lbs. Nick had all his fish on all the pole at 13m using dead maggots on the hook.
RESULT…
1st Nick Butler 65-09, peg 12.
2nd Wayne Tuttle 37-09, peg 29.
3rd Joss Gilligan 36-09, peg 25.
4th Sean Blowman 23-09 , peg 13.
5th Ian Jones 16-09, peg 20.
6th Les Harrison 12-04 , peg 18.
Folly Open 4th Nov 2023
Here’s the result from the Risby Open on Folly…Sat 4th Nov 2023
It came as no great surprise to see the water levels a lot higher than usual, even for this time of the year. What was surprising was the colour.
The Folly looked more like the River Humber or the River Hull in flood than a match lake!
Having said that, the Folly fished miles better than anyone had expected…
The first hour or so was very slow for most of the lads, with just the odd skimmer and occasional carp coming out.
Robbo had drawn peg 16 and was probably the second last to have a bite and with an hour and a half gone, only had a 6oz stockie to show for his effort.
Thankfully, a few decent skimmers started to feed, as did some cracking carp, with the biggest being a lovely common of approx15lbs.
Result
1st Robbo 76:00, peg 16. Double red maggot over micros at 14.5m.
5 carp for 55:06 & 20:10 of skimmers.
2nd Nick Peat, 63lbs, peg 23. Nick caught 7 carp and some nice skimmers on 6mm expanders over micros.
3rd Joss Gilligan, 52:13, peg 9.
4th Pully, 52:07, peg 18.
Silvers Match
1st Nige Roberts, 21:00, peg 27.
2nd Robbo 20:10.
3rd Joss Gilligan, 16:15.
