Barford Lakes Fishing Festivals

 72 Anglers fished from Monday 7th May - Friday 11th May 2007. 

It was inevitable that after being blessed with such good weather for previous festivals that we had to have one year like this - it rained all week!  Which in a way was a good thing (trying to find the positive) as with the previous weeks of nice weather; the fish were looking ready to spawn.   It did though affect the fishing and the methods that proved successful – it made for an interesting festival!   

Daniel Bradford and Stewart Bracey had an amazing start to the festival with section wins in the first two days.  But things were to change as the week went on.   It was still fairly open as to who would win the event on the last day as angler’s drop their worst points score – their best four results counting for the final result.
