REPORT of the week must go to veteran member Keith Wernham. The 69-year-old showed his skills in how to play a carp on 4lbs mainline, a 2lbs hook-length, and size 18’s hook. He was enjoying his session at Appleton Reservoir fishing a waggler in six feet of water, feeding caster with red maggot on the hook and catching roach. His float shot under and he struck into what was obviously not a roach. A passing member who had stopped to watch dug his carp landing net out of his car. After about an hour and a half of playing the fish the 2lbs hook-length finally gave up the ghost and snapped just as a 20lb quality carp slid safely into the net.
