In conjunction with the Angling Trust and the County Angling
Action Group (CAAG), Norfolk’s first Inter Schools
Fishing Championship was run yesterday at Barford Lakes.
This annual team event saw 44 anglers
competing on all 3 lakes at the Barford complex. The 3 hour match was well supported by
sponsors and helpers and the top 3 individual and teams and section winners
received tackle prizes, trophies and medals.
The top and last placed teams were also invited back for a
match training session from the current Fish O Mania champion Warren Martin
(Barford Tackle/Matrix sponsored), a local angler from Lyng who recently won
the prestigious title.
Barford Tackle sponsored the young anglers with pellet and
the CAAG group donated some maggots for the event. Many thanks to the helpers and coaches who gave their time on the day.

County Angling Action Group (CAAG) meets every 2 months and the next meeting is
in August held at Bartles Lodge Fishery, Lyng.
