In 2011 the first Pedder 'Homebake' was held as an experiment with 4
anglers taking part. The wind and sleet from the previous night was
severe and a late start was made around 10am and from this day it was
decided that gentlemens hours of competition would be adhered to every
year. Hours of fishing were set at 10am -4pm. The fishing was good this
year and Matt Dayton took out biggest fish with David Dick catching most
fish.
Both
these anglers have immense local knowledge and Matt only made a few
lures and won the day with a fish early that went approximately 3 and
half pound. For those who follow forums and read fishing publications
these two are known for catching XXL trout - competition was fierce but
the weather was fiercer! David a.k.a Tyenna Dave makes an exceptional
fishing lure and it looks like it was the Tassie Highland Lures that
were attracting more fish because Tyenna Dave won the day with 'most Fish' caught (19 fish).
