The sixth running of this competition saw 13 teams of 4 compete on a bright and blustery May Bank Holiday Monday at Peatmoor Lagoon, Swindon.


Farn Yellow

The water’s prolific bream and roach shoals were conspicuous by their absence after a week of bumper catches but even so some fair weights were recorded.


Farn Blue

Individually the day belonged to Luke Hancock of Mosella Farnborough Blue, who managed to tempt some of the lake’s bream on pole and maggot for 15-3-0.

The next peg challenge came from Karl Brigg of Newton Abbott Fishing Association A who also fished with pole and maggot to take the same number of bream but a slightly smaller stamp to finish with 13-8-0.

Third spot went to Tom Burnel of Wakefield with a pole and worm catch of skimmers for 11-10-0.


Karl Bigg, 13lb 8oz

Team honours went to Mosella Farnborough with their Yellow team taking top spot followed by their Blue team in second.

The long journey from Newton Abbott did not seem so bad on the return with third spot under their belts for NAFA A Team.
