16th Annual Fishing Competition

Youngsters will be hoping to net themselves a prize this summer in West Yorkshire Police’s 16th annual fishing competition.

Bob Nudd, the four times fishing World Champion and England Squad World Champion, has once again offered his support of the event, which will see budding anglers compete for the chance to fish alongside their idol.

The event takes place on Saturday, August 1, 2009 at Calder/Hebble Canal, Horbury, Wakefield and competitors are being urged to register their interest early to secure their entry. Applications forms will be sent out mid June.

On the day of the match, competitors will be split into three groups, under 8s, under 15s and under 18s.

The lucky 1st and 2nd prize winners of the under 15’s and under 18’s, will have the chance to spend the entire day fishing with Bob at Pisces Country Park, picking up tips and advice as well as a trophy and prize. Under 8’s will also get a trophy and separate prize. There will also be prizes and trophies for those who are first in their section.

The less experienced angler will also get a chance to win a prize in the Lucky Peg draw. In the past this has ranged from a quality rod, down to a bait bucket filled with angling goodies and is thanks to the goodwill of local tackle shops.

The event is organised by West Yorkshire Police photographer, David Speight and now attracts attention from all over the country.

David said: “This competition gives youngsters the chance to get involved in a fun activity and keeps them occupied during the summer holidays.

“We want the day to be fun and make sure all fish caught are released back into the water alive”.

“It has always been a great day out for the family and would urge anyone wanting to take part to start registering now.”

Those wanting an application form should contact David Speight on 0795 808 3224 or email Silverbugle@aol.com.

Last year’s anglers will automatically be sent an application form.

Leeds DASA forum regular, Charlyfarly, had a barbel session that most can only dream of - an amazing 3 double-figure fish, the best topping out at an incredible 11lb 13oz. Charly fished a Leeds DASA stretch of the River Swale and took advantage of an influx of extra water when the level rose sharply after heavy rain in Richmond.

Tactics were 14mm hair-rigged halibut pellet, feeding a few 6mm pellets every 15 min, plus a small golf ball sized mush of halibut groundbait every half hour cast. “The peg is not noted for barbel - just one or two and is not often fished, the crucial thing was that there had been very heavy rain the previous evening up at Richmond and it had just reached this stretch; consequently the river
was rising very quickly from a low level”.
