Almost 500 competitors turned out over the three days which included 132 juniors who all received a prize if they entered and another if they caught a fish.

The winners were:
Biggest Carp: 73cm Jayde Martin.

Organiser Pete Smith said it was a great weekend.
“The fact that we raised so much money for MND speaks volumes of the event.
“I hope it’s even better next year,” he said.
