  Daiwa Festival 2005

Welcome to the start of the Daiwa Festival 2005. This superb event is being held for the third successive year sponsored tackle giants Daiwa who have again put up some great prizes for the winners.

This week we have 72 anglers fishing the four-day festival; the anglers have been split into four sections and are fishing in rotation on Twin Oaks, Acorn and Canal. This festival is aimed at non-sponsored anglers who enjoy matches but are not regulars on the festival circuits, with the idea being that everyone has a fair chance of winning. Stay tuned for regular updates on the festival.

Day one
After a miserable weekend the weather didn’t look promising but this did not dampen the angler’s spirits they were keen to draw and start fishing.
