The competition was fished on 22nd and 23rd January 2011 on the River Dee, Maelor AA waters.

Despite the recent inclement weather a total of 97 grayling of more than 20cm were measured and returned. The largest fish of 43cm was shared by Dick Turpin and Mike Dixon.

The winner was organiser Martin Dixon with 13 fish for 5 place points. The qualifiers for the England National Final, to be fished on the Dee on 15 & 16th August were as follows:

Mike Dixon                      10 fish - 5 place points
Terry Phillips                  11 fish -  7 place points
Steve Cullen                     7 fish -  8 place points
Bob Worts                        8 fish -  9 place points
Gavin Walsh                     7 fish - 11 place points
Phil Dixon                         9 fish - 12 place points
John Emerson                   7 fish - 12 place points (federation reserve)

Special praise must go to Gavin Walsh, qualifying on only his second visit to the Dee, and to Brian Greenaway whose car was written off on route to the river but could not be stopped from taking part!

Competition Format

Following the success of last year’s event, the competition will be fished over the weekend of 22nd and 23rd January 2011.
Each competitor will fish and control on each day, the same format as used in National Finals. There will thus be no need for independent controllers.

National Final

The Final will be on the Dee again in 2011, with provisional dates of Monday and Tuesday 15th & 16th August.

Accommodation

There is no requirement for any competitor to stay over during the Saturday night.

However if you wish to make the event into a weekend away, I have negotiated a special rate for competitors with the Hand Hotel in Llangollen (phone 01978 860303) for the Friday and/or Saturday night.
Last year a number of competitors stayed over and I think a good time was had by all! I can heartily recommend the Hand, which will be the base for the 2011 National.

If you wish to stay at the Hand, PLEASE contact them direct, mentioning my name and the reason for your stay.

An entry form is attached. Please return this ASAP with your cheque after which I will confirm your entry and provide further details.

 Tight lines,

Martin Dixon
