Linear Keeps Giving

Trio of forties head up frantic action on venue's day-ticket water.
Oxfordshire’s Richworth Linear Fisheries is a venue on top form at the moment – and this week it’s been Manor Farm Lake’s turn to shine.

Three different 40lb specimens have been banked on the day-ticket water over the past seven days, with this 44lb specimen topping the action.

Weighing in at 44lb 5oz, the big mirror, known as Sticky Rib, was caught by Wirral-based angler Colin Ogormon who set himself a new personal best with the catch.

The big mirror fell for a Mainline call and pineapple combo fished on a size 6 Nash Fang hook with an ESP Two-Tone hooklink and a 4oz lead presented at range.

Elsewhere Chris Lowe landed Manor Farm biggie ‘Popeye’ at 40lb 08oz after the specimen fell for a Sonubaits Code-Red boilie. Mark Tolson also got in on the action, setting a new PB for himself with ‘The Football’ at 41lb. This time it was an 18mm savoury surprise boilie that did the damage, rolled by Troll at Atherton Tackle Baits and Rolling.
