Default The Greater Rod Race

Hi, my name is Andy and I am new to the forum so this is my first post. I was wondering if anyone watched the Greater Rod Race last Sunday morning, Matt Hayes and Mick Brown were fishing a stretch of the River Dee for grayling and brownies. If anyone did see it can you remember what the name of the controlling club for the stretch they were fishing is or where the stretch was as I would like to fish there this season if possible.
Thanks in advance.
Andy.

It also looked like there had been a very recent stocking given the number of browns caught in a very short stretch below the bridge, including many with decidedly dodgy looking fins.

Looked like a nice stretch for bugging though. I've fished further up the Dee a few times and the quality of Grayling is excellent, still awaiting a 3lb fish though.
