REPORT FROM Rodney Wevill
I don’t really know where to start on this one.
What a fantastic day on a fantastic venue with fantastic fish and more importantly fantastic people.
I can’t speak highly enough about the competitors at our events this year and today was simply top notch.
A full house entry 10 boats 20 anglers that had travelled from all over the South West, the deepest parts of Cornwall, Bristol, Somerset and Devon.
The standard of Angling this year has been exceptional and today was just brilliant, if you where a dry fly angler you where in for a fantastic day.
Those of us that pulled most of the day suffered with little action.
We fished from 9 till 4.30, with boat going off in all directions, some straight to the Upton arm to try for a Brown which held double points, but sadly no Browns to the net today even though a few where hooked and dropped early morning.
All boats caught from 2 fish to 14 fish.
Several 60cm plus fish with the biggest coming in at 70cm and a couple a bit bigger getting lost .
Congratulations to Tony Chipman & Pete Williams winning with 14 fish
Andrew Gooding & Andrew Watson second with 10 fish
Alex Venn & Harry Wilson third with 8 fish
Andrew Gooding winning the biggest Rainbow with a 70cm beast.
