TUG VALLEY BASS ANGLERS

"Tug Valley Bass Anglers Yatesville Lake Tournament

Presented by Wallen, Cornett & Pucket"

On October 16th the Tug Valley Bass Anglers held its eighth tournament of the 2011 season on Yatesville Lake in Louisa Kentucky. 21 anglers competed in the event.

Yatesville Lake was at normal summer pool with a water temperature in the low 60's. The lake was turning over on the lower end with stained water conditions on the upper end.

Weather for the tournament was good with mostly sunny skies and an air temperature in the mid 70's. The wind most of the day blew 20 to 30 MPH, which made the fishing very difficult.

Yatesville has been tough for the last several weeks and tournament day was no better. The fish were in a non active mood and would not chase anything, this made fishing slow the preferred

technique but the wind made it nearly impossible. Most fish were caught in the creeks in 1 to 8 feet of

water.

The main pattern for this tournament was to fish slow and tight to cover with soft plastics.

The top finishers are as follows.

1st --Kevin Runyon --- (2 fish) 8.64 lbs. Big Fish - 5.88 lbs

2nd --Lynn Fields--- (2 fish) 5.97 lbs.

3rd--Andy Maynard --- (1 fish) 4.28 lbs.

4th --Johnny Webb --- (1 fish) 3.74 lbs.

5th --Bryan Fields --- (1 fish) 2.64 lbs.

6th-- Michael Salyer --- (1 fish) 1.87 lbs.

7th--Brad May --- (1 fish) 1.68 lbs.
