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.
The man of the hour, was our Secretary, whom single underhandedly organised the entire event, Steven Elliot did an incredible job. What a great club and committee we have had throughout 2013/2014.
Overall the Event was a great success!
Money raised for chairty!
See you all next year!!
