As a last-minute event we ran a 3 day festival as many anglers travelling from away would be losing out on their accommodation money.  We avoided Barford, we are back open but didn’t want 3 days match fishing on the first weekend open.

The event was held on Colton and Railway with 3 sections of 8 anglers rotating.  Was great to see everyone and a lovely, although very hot weekend was had.  Big thanks to Dave Jarvis for running the event and thanks to all those who helped weigh in.

Congratulations to Steve (Jacko) Jackson who won overall.  Steve’s been attending for over 20 years and generally is in the top 5 so very pleased to see him win for the first time, a great birthday present too!  Dan Hull (Shearsby Lakes) came 2nd overall and had the biggest weight of the festival with 279lb 14ozs from Colton peg 2.  Top work to Steve Porter on his third overall placing, with Ian Stripp 4th.  Best local angler result was from Carlo Rocini who was 5th 0verall.

Next year’s 4 Day Festival will be the first weekend in August – Friday 4th August to Monday 7th August 2023.
