Mike Roden Memorial Competition 2014

We had a cold frosty welcome, on the morning of the first hosted British Heart Foundation fly fishing competition, officially titled "Mike Roden Memorial Shield", which will be taking place every year.

However everyone who said they were to attend, did so! - which showed grit determination and a great show of support for Mike Rodens life and what he did for the fly fishing community, and equally as important. The British Heart Foundation.

All proceeds were donated to this charity, and the exact figures are held with our secretary, we estimate to have raised over £300 which is great!! It cost £25.00 for competitors, which included a one fish ticket provided by our venue, Curleys Trout Fishery, Horwich. Curleys trout fishery was the  base for Mike Roden when he taught many folks how to cast a fly line, as well as managing the fishery. He will be truly missed by his fishing buddies, and fellow anglers.

In his Honor, you will now find a stunning timber bench at Curleys Trout Fishery, donated by North West Nomads Fly Fishing Club UK. 

On to the fishing! - An incredibly difficult day, extremely cold, frosty and snowing at brief periods of the day. Top rod was Jim McGinley, a full list of results will be on our website on the 18/12/14.

 

All competitors fished extremely hard, fighting bitter cold winds, so again big thanks to all those that attended! 

An especially large thanks for all the donations from many fly fishing related companies, a full Prize list is still available on our website, until the 18/12/14.
