rating is 4

Steve Partner, 06 August 2010 16:00

rating is 4

Trout and Salmon, 30 July 2010 16:21

England won the Home International Youth Fly-fishing Championship held at Grafham Water on Wednesday. It was a breezy day which made conditions very demanding for all 56 competitors who fished from boats drifting 'loch-style' in the waves (anchoring is not allowed) but a lot of hard practice over the past three months paid off for England on the 1,500 acre Cambridgeshire ...
