Game Angling Regional reports

Eastern & Midlands - 18th May, Eyebrook Reservoir

Seven competitors turned up to compete in the Midland qualifier and only four entered the Eastern. There must be more fly fishers than this in these regions? 

Weather was a mix of sunshine and showers with a strong, gusty wind out of the south west. Most people opted to anchor in Sam's Dyke or Mucky bay on advice of the fishery staff. Fish were observed being stocked during the competition and provided easy catches for some anglers.

Best fish was a rainbow of 3lbs 12ozs to Jim North but there were at least four others over 3lbs. In all thirty-seven fish were caught, providing a rod average of 3.36! Notably Lee Patten, Willie Warren and D. Kay achieved their limit bag of eight fish.

Next years qualifier will be in the Rutland area and confirmed once we have the 2011 competition schedules (probably Eyebrook but maybe the newly opened Draycote). As the fishing proved to be so much better earlier in the year a date around the same as this year will be choosen.

SOUTH EAST

2010 Qualifiers - Malcolom Pay &
WALES - 24th June, Tal y Llyn

A disappointingly low turnout this year. But the 12 anglers who competed in the qualifier at Tal y Llyn had a day with a difference. The challenge of enticing both indigenous and stocked brown trout to the net was difficult but the scenery more than compensated for the hard fishing.

The weigh-in was conducted by Phil Wood, Fishery Manager. A total of 34 fish (including a couple of sea trout) were 
caught on the day. Only 2 anglers (Bob Jones and Kieron Thomas) managed to catch a limit of 6 trout. Bob and Kieron 
will now go on to represent CSSC Wales at Eyebrook reservoir in September.
