Esthwaite Water will be hosting the inaugural Esthwaite Kayak Predator Grand Slam competition on Sunday 30th October. There will also be a practice day on Saturday 29th October.
The competition is open to all kayak anglers. It is run jointly with the Angling Trust and Esthwaite Water Trout Fishery and the total cost of entry, including the practice day, is £40.
The general format for the competition will include catching three predatory species from the lake: trout, perch and pike all of which must be photographed and measured. The winner of the Grand Slam will be the longest combined length of all the target species and the fishery rules of fly, spin and worm will apply!
The competition will run from first light until 4pm with the presentation taking place shortly after and will include a pint and a pie for each competitor.
This will be a superb opportunity for kayak anglers to fish this prolific venue and meet other like minded kayak anglers from around the country.
The event is sponsored by Savage Gear, Okuma, Baitbox and Coarse Angling Today, who are donating some fabulous prizes for what promises to be a fantastic weekend of camaraderie.
