Angling Trust news release

Eleven teams of six anglers competed for the coveted title in the 2012 Angling Trust Masters held at Leicestershire’s Mallory Park Fisheries on Saturday 11th August.

The event was well spread out over the seven Glebe pools, the Foundation Lake and Mallory Big Lake.  With so many lakes that all fish differently this was going to be a real challenge to the teams taking part.  It turned out to be a great day’s fishing with 22 weights over 100lbs.

Team Marukyu RedWith just one pound separating the top three individuals it was Adam Wakelin fishing for Drennan who won first place on the day with a winning weight of 178lbs 8oz.  Adam on the Foundation Lake put in an epic performance catching most of his fish on the feeder.

In second place saw both anglers tying on 177lbs 8oz, Aaron Morton Total Fishing and Dom Lanni for Marukyu Green.
