Default Pro-Am Grafham

A few people are 'wrongly' informed that it is being held on Wed 15th of June... when infact its on Wed 22nd of June... Hope this is of help to those who it concerns.

Yup, I was duped as well, Anglian Water website competition calendar states 15 June, yet when BC called he said it was 22 June.

The good news is the wind direction has remained SW to W since Sunday so those fish won't have gone far

Well?..... We 'Pro's' lost by around a couple of pounds... A rare occasion let me tell you! mind you, we did help em by giving flies etc.. eh Roy??... ha ha!

A big well done to Joan Russell who not only managed the biggest fish but she got the top bag too!! 8 fish for almost 20lbs! Rules were catch 8 fish and pack in!!... Didnt mind the no time bonus but what was wrong with de-barbing and carry on fishing C&R without adding to your bag weight? Just to spread the day?

Ps, the weather was perfect James!!
