Bulldog Trout Fishery had the pleasure of hosting the Appledore shipyard Fly Fishing competition! 
After attending one of our earlier comps Graham decided to get the lads together from work and book a day on the bank, these competitions are certainly growing in popularity! 
On arrival it was clear by the general atmosphere today was going to be a good day! After a bacon roll and a coffee the boys were itching to get started. Bright sunshine and a strong Easterly wind had some worried, however the worries were soon forgotten as a steady flow of fish were hooked and landed!
Lunch time came with the requested roast pork bap and roasties on the menu 
Slowly but surely, fish by fish anglers started getting close to their limit! A big scene was caused as ‘fly’ had his 6th fish on the line and it was a biggen! Unfortunately the 6th fish that surely would have bagged him first place managed to slip the hook after a lengthy tussle.
Results for the day:
1st – Jake England – 19lb13oz 
2nd – Graham Turner -19lb10oz
3rd Colin Eastern – 18lb14oz
Biggest fish of the day: Paul Baglole -5lb9oz 
A lovely sunny day to be on the bank with plenty of fish landed! It was a pleasure to host this comp, couldn’t have asked for a better bunch of blokes
