Clawford Christmas match saw anglers greeted by the hardest frost of the year so far, “bloody freezing”. Still 34 anglers had a days fishing as surprisingly there was only a bit of light ice at the ends of the lake.

Nielsen Jeffery who organized the match would like everyone who turned up and supported the day, and thanks to all for great company.
Thank you to John, Wanda Ray and Michelle Jeffery for their hospitality and help with the breakfasts.
