Tough conditions on Conestogo lake tested everyone’s fishing resolve. The bass bite was slow (but the pike and brown bullhead fishing was great) with no one getting a full limit. Congrats to Cole Bailey with four fish at 5.24 lbs for the win (and big fish – if you can call it that – at 1.77 lbs) and Zach Beacham with 3.95 lbs for the win on the junior side.
