STAFFORD OPEN IN ARTIC BLAST
The Open/league match on Tanners & Woodpecker lakes. Had a continental payout.
Competitors competed against both fellow anglers and difficult conditions as an icy cold wind brought arctic like conditions !!
Winner was Andy Dare who fished on Woodpecker peg 11 with a weight of 27lb 9oz; fished Maggot down the edge.
CAPTURING THOSE GOLDEN MOMENTS
As the wind swings to the East and temperatures plummet the catching of fish becomes a struggle especially for carp. This doesn’t deter the hardiest anglers who will fish in any weather wrapped up in warm clothing and snug within their bivvys. As always the real bonus is being out by the water witnessing nature in all its glory and if the fishing is quiet then all the more chance of savouring those sunrises and sunsets. Steve Pinn spends many hours fishing Stafford Moor and captures some wonderful images including these stunning shots taken from the bivvy.
