Christmas Festival Announced

Carr Vale to host two-day competition
Carr Vale Fishery in Bolsover is hosting a two-day Christmas competition. Taking place on Saturday, 28th and Sunday 29th December, the contest will see anglers fish two four-hour matches to decide the overall result.

Organiser, Matt Godfrey explained: "Carr Vale is a cracking winter venue, being stuffed to the hilt with roach and skimmers, plus plenty of bonus crucians, and even the occasional tench. Co organiser, Tom Scholey and I always get restless with the lack of matches around Christmas, so last year decided to run something to give anglers an excuse to get out of the house for a few hours. The fishing was fantastic, as you can tell by the resullts which can be seen by clicking here! All indications suggest that the dam is still fishing brilliantly, so we have decided to run the event again!

"Both matches will see a 9.00am draw, with four hours fishing from 11am until 3pm. The overall result will be decided on section points, then weight in the event of a tie. Daily money will be paid out to section winners.

"Money is often tight for anglers over the festive season, so we have kept the festival entry at a modest £30, with £10 pools each day, though we will be running a super pool for those who want to go in it. To ensure a good match, we are capping the number or entrants, so if you want to fish you are advised to book in quickly!"
