The Valley of the Giants sees some of the UKs top Pike fishermen get together for two days of heavy fishing. Heavy being the word as some of the catches at this years top fishing venue for pike produced some monsters.
The event takes place over two days and on the Saturday Blagdon Reservoir played host to the 12 anglers. The weather was overcast with a brisk wind blowing across the water. Sunshine made appearances fleetingly at times as the clouds blew across the area.
The anglers were focused and keen and with gear ready and boats packed the fishing began and what a session it was. Over 60 pike caught with the largest in at 38 lb. 7 pike also came through over the magic 30 lb mark and overt 50 of the fish caught over the 20 lb mark.
All in all a fantastic day but unfortunately the second day was cancelled due to the high winds. Despite the cancelation there were many happy faces with all anglers doing well on the catches.
Turrall & Co Ltd was supporting with goodie bags and prizes. Cortland pike lines were given away along with some caps, jumpers and pike flies.
Thanks to everyone for making the event a success and well done to the organizers.
Looking forward to the next event.
