British Lure Angling Championship - Round 3 - Chew Valley Reservoir

British Lure Angling Championships 2014The British Lure Angling Championship at Chew Valley Reservoir will be the start of this competition for me and what a fantastic location to kick it off. This is the third major for me this year and one that I am really looking forward to fishing as I have expectations that this place will afford most anglers fantastic fishing I can imagine quite a few personal bests will be beaten during this day.  I myself will be doing my best to ensure I beat my own PB.

Team England Lure Squad Trials - Bewl Reservoir

Team England Lure Squad Trials


 


The second round of Team England Lure Squad Trials is to take place at Bewl reservoir. This will be my second major of the year with the importance of qualifying for the grand final absolute paramount for me I do not have a boat partner as of yet for this event so if you are interested please get in contact via the contact form.


Bewl reservoir is set in Lamberhurst Kent and is the largest inland body of water in  south east England containing 31 300 million litres of water when it was completed in 1975. These Team England Lure Squad trials will again be hotly contested between 20 pairs with the opportunity to catch Pike, Perch and Trout  popular methods you can expect to see being used here will include jigging, dropshot and spinner fishing.

Team England Lure Squad Trials - Esthwaite Water

Team England Lure Squad Trials


The first Team England Lure Squad Trials will take place over the last weekend of March. During these first trials I will be partnering up with Heath Taylor who is the man that introduced me to Pike fishing a few years ago. For me this is the first major lure fishing event of the year and will see us fishing vs 14 other pairs on this great body of water.Esthwaite water is one of the smaller bodies of water in the Lake District at 280 acres in size and any serious lure angler in search of large pike will know of the reputation that Esthwaite water has. I am going to go ahead and make some brave predictions that there will be at least a couple 20lb pike landed over the course of the weekend possibly a 30lber as well as the possibility of the large over wintered brown trout taking lures. I know that this is possible as I landed a 10lber at the same time a couple of years ago. What ever happens the Team England Lure Squad Trials at Esthwaite is set to be a really fun weekend.

UK Lure Fishing in 2014

Yes the UK lure fishing in 2014 is really taking off with the advent of the Fox Rage British Lure Angling Championship and now the announcement of the England Lure Team trials which will be taking place to select a squad to travel to France at the end of the year to compete against the rest of the world for the second year running. This really is exciting times for UK Lure fishing in 2014.


British Lure Angling Championships 2014


What the Fox Rage British Lure Fishing Championship represents for the UK Lure Fishing in 2014 is a serious competition that gives you the opportunity to win some real money and kudos as the first person to be crowned the Fox Rage British Lure Fishing Champion. There will be 9 qualifying events up and down the country with the final taking place at the great Chew valley reservoir. I will be fishing in five of these events myself to ensure that I give myself every opportunity to qualify for the final. For more information please visit the official British Lure Fishing Championship.


Team England Lure Squad Trials


The most important UK Lure fishing in 2014 for me will be the Team England Lure Squad trials. These will be held over two weekends and four days of competition with the top three pairs and six anglers to impress the selection panel going on to the grand final on Llangorse lake. From these events a team will be selected to fish in the 2014 World Championships in the south of France. Why is this the most important UK Lure fishing in 2014 for me? Well there is a number of reasons but most importantly it gives me the opportunity to be able to really put my knowledge and skills to the test versus what will probably be a field of the best UK Lure fishing enthusiasts and at the end I will know where I stand amongst the best, hopefully being able to represent my country at the end.


Both of these Lure Fishing tournaments represent a giant leap forward in catching up to the rest of the worlds Lure fishing communities. Most of the the countries that I have visited and fished in all have various tournaments for different levels of skill. The foundations to grow tournament lure angling in the UK have finally been set. Proof of this will only come in time but for now you can see from the releases on the Fox Rage British Lure Fishing Championship website there has been a good number of anglers sign up.


I will keep you all updated on My Fisherman’s Tale for the UK Lure Fishing In 2014 so be sure to sign up on my subscription page to be emailed the latest releases. Not only will I be talking about the Techniques and Tackle that I use but I will also be talking about the venues and the fish that I catch. As I said at the start I am really looking forward to fishing the UK Lure Fishing in 2014.  To all those who will be competing I wish you tight lines and bring it on.
