Tri-Cast Calders Ian Dawson has booked himself a place into
this years RiverFest Final and is looking to better his 7th place
finish from last year.
Heavy rain during the week left six inches of cold water in
the River Calder leaving it perfect for the first RiverFest qualifier on 18th
June 2016. Local organiser Martyn Highe had three sections Zone A – Pear Tree, Zone
B – Ship Inn to Calder Road and Zone C Calder Bank Road to Sands Lane.
Ian was feeling hopeful after seeing the conditions and drew
section C drawing permanent peg 100 at the top of Sands Lane. Fishing two
caster lines on 6 No4 stick float with double red maggot on the hook and
despite looing a few fish due to weed and trees in the peg he took 9 Chub and 2
grayling to win the zone and the match with 25-13.
Other qualifiers were Pete Allott with 19-10 and Tony
Watling with 11-8
