GAME ANGLING
2016 - DRAYCOTE WATER 1st July
The weather forecast had not looked promising for days prior to the
final. The Scottish lads fished on the Wednesday and described the water
as "wild". Thursday was a little better but the day of the final
proved tough with gusty, squally winds from the South West and the odd
shower. The fish were very fickle about taking flies but some managed to
do well - there were three bag limits (this year we fished to a four fish
kill plus eight released), 116 fish landed with a rod average of 4.4.
We would like to thank the fishery management for their continued support of this
event in providing tackle and boat vouchers for the prize giving. A
tremendous thank you to Craig Barr from Flash Attack Flies for his sponsorship
where he provided six free flies for each angler plus fly packs and fly
lines for the prize giving. He has provided us with a special code to enable members to
get 20% off their orders from his fly company www.flashattackflies.com
and is happy for this to be extended to members friends and family
(contact Jim North for the code).
Should you be fortunate enough to qualify next year please remember to
report to the weigh in station, even if you have not caught anything.
Please note that this not a one day event, you are expected to stay the
night before the final, fish the match and attend the presentation meal.
If you cannot commit yourself to the full agenda then let your regional
organiser know as soon as possible so that he can replace you with a reserve.
Also I recommend that you arrange to have at least one practice session
on the day prior to the final. You are representing your region and it is
your responsibility to try as hard as possible.
PLEASE NOTE THAT NEXT YEAR'S FINAL IS PLANNED
FOR FRIDAY 23rd JUNE.

Please note that accommodation for these finals is booked at least a
year in advance and numbers are based on the regional teams that we know
will be taking part. If you want to bring your partner or make the event a
family holiday you must contact the angling council first so we can
arrange that you get our room rate, do not approach
the hotel.
