World Champ wins on British soil. Didier Delannoy proved exactly why he is World Champion this week, after winning a match in England whilst on a business trip over here!The Rive backed ace travels over to England on a yearly basis, and stops with his good friend, and five times former World Champion, Alan Scotthorne, to do a bit of fishing, and service the UK’s Rive accounts. Whilst over here this time, Didier decided to drop on a Sensas International rules match, at Hayfield Lakes near Doncaster. With England Internationals, Alan Scotthorne and Lee Kerry in attendance, both of whom know the venue well, it was never going to be an easy battle to win.
Anglers secure agreement for safe relocation of 'Keith' the Severn Seal The Angling Trust has announced that it will not be pursuing an application to Natural England for a licence to shoot the Severn seal, following the conclusion of an agreement with the British Divers Marine Life Rescue service which will see both organisations working together to relocate the mammal back to the sea, protecting vulnerable freshwater fish stocks. A press release from the Angling Trust explained: "The longer the seal remains away from its natural habitat, the greater the risk of it coming to harm from eating food thrown to it by the public or being injured by lock gates or boat propellers. Recent drops in river levels have improved the prospects of the animal either being rescued, or heading out to sea. The Angling Trust said that it felt that it had little choice but to consider reluctantly securing a licence in response to requests by local clubs and anglers and after the Environment Agency and Natural England failed to take any action whatsoever to manage the situation, despite ongoing and severe damage to the rivers stocks by the marine mammal.
Drennan Barnsley Blacks take Division 1 crown on the River Trent A total of 42 teams (420 competitors) fished the River Trent on various sections of the river from the non-tidal section downstream of Nottingham to the tidal section upstream of Torksey in the Angling Trust Division 1 National Championship on Saturday, August 9th, 2014.
Weather conditions were far from ideal, with bright sunshine and blustery winds generally blowing downstream with the current. Recent rains had put just a tinge of colour in the water, but on the tidal stretches the river ran out from the top of the tide soon after the start whistle.
In a dramatic race for the team title, Barnsley & District just pipped Shakespeare Superteam by a single point with 336 points.
Garbolino and Dynamite backed ace Alex Dockerty is to join the Garbolino Lindholme team on a permanent basis.
Starting in June, the 21 year old Doncaster ace will become Lindholme’s resident angling coach, as well as offering his expertise to customers in the on-site tackle shop.
Alex said: “ Unlike many sports angling coaching seems to be very limited in terms of the number of people offering their services so hopefully this will be a way to pass on my knowledge of the venue and help others in the way many have helped me over the years.
The plan is to offer a multitude of sessions ranging from group days and evening classes to a full day’s one to one tuition.
Exciting plans at Herefordshire water.

First up is their New Year get away – which offers extraordinary value for money. Guests are invited to stay in the venue's luxury accommodation for up to seven nights from December 28th, for a cost of just £100 for each unit of accommodation.
Bizarre twist of fate leads to freak match result. To win two matches at the same venue in successive days, is an achievement for any angler. For the same five anglers to occupy the same five places at the same venue two days on the trot is nothing short of remarkable - but this is what happened on the JCB Charity Classic, at JCB Lakes near Uttoxeter on a recent charity festival. .
Top team win Match This team champs. Daiwa Dorking have won the second Mega 'Match This' Team Championship final.

The team, made up of Simon Willsmore, Darren Davies, Will Raison, Michael Buchwalder and Ian Didcote, beat second-placed Shakespeare Superteam by a 12-point margin. The squad's manager, Simon Willsmore, explained: “We are quite fortunate as most of us know the river well, and lessons learnt over the Bank Holiday festival helped us to formulate a good plan.
Dorking top first Midlands Sensas LeagueDespite terrible weather, ranging from a hard frost in the morning to driving rain, the venue fished extremely well for the first round of this league, with double figures needed to win every seven peg section!Guesting for Kamasan Starlets Nigel Bull led the way with from peg 112 at Barston with 33lb 6oz of skimmers and F1s, all taken on pole and bloodworm at 13m over groundbait. It was a Kamasan Starlets double top as Garbolino's Darren Cox was close behind with 16 F1s and skimmers for 31lb 7oz again on pole and bloodworm at 13m from peg 122 at Barston.

Drennan Barnsley Blacks win Championship title in the Angling Trust Winter League finalWith the Gloucester Canal coloured up from overnight water movements to the Bristol reservoirs, the 120 competitors of this year’s Angling Trust Winter League Final on July 6th were expecting a few bites, especially after last week’s good practice match. Unfortunately for most it was a struggle and a long wait between bites as most of the fish switched off in the bright and sometimes breezy conditions.
Only with a couple of hours to go did the bream on Hempstead Bend start to feed and four anglers here started to catch on the pole, one angler even subduing a 7lb carp on his light bream gear. With little major action reported elsewhere the winner was expected from these pegs.
Details of prestigious competiton confirmed.
