The first Angling Trust and British Waterways Stillwater Championship qualifier for 2012 took place on Saturday 23rd June 2012 at Boddington Reservoir, Near Byfield, Northamptonshire with 70 competitors.
Water levels were slightly down on the day, but this didn’t create a problem with the competitors fishing. The winner Chris Hill (Hookbait Solutions) from Birmingham weighed in with 42.300kg from peg 88 on section F. Chris caught 12 on the long method and at 70 yards one on the pellet waggler. A variety of tactics on the day accounted for fish caught mainly on the long range method with either discs of bread or boilie on the hook.
In second place was Maurice Williams (Sensas Chiltern Baits) from Southam, Warwickshire on peg 63, section C with 32.850kg and in third place was Steve Mayo (Maver) from Bristol with 30.750kg on peg 86 section F.
