River Hull & Derwent Angling Championships 2014
The East Yorkshire Rivers Trust and East Riding of Yorkshire Council’s EYevents Team have joined up once again to deliver two days of match fishing on the Yorkshire Derwent and River Hull.
With a £1000 first prize up for grabs each match, the event will again prove popular with anglers across Yorkshire and further afield. This event also assist the Environment Agency to survey the status of coarse fish stocks in both rivers, as routine monitoring is ineffective, in these deep fast flowing rivers.
Unfortunately this year the matches will be hosted on separate weekends. This is due to the fact that the size and timing of the tides, have conspired against the organisers.
The River Hull Championship is to be contested a few weeks early than the norm on Saturday 27th September. It is hoped that that having the match a few weeks early will mean that the rivers’ roach shoals will be spread out along much of the match length, offering anglers a chance of a day’s sport.
Last year despite the blustery wet conditions, huge catches took the top five places, with Trevor Sharp being at the ‘sharp end’ of the pack and a £1000 better off, with a 39lb 2oz mixed haul from end peg 11 directly upstream of Grovehill Bridge. Second and third place came from the other side of the bridge where Shaun Leskiewicz and Craig Singleton hauled in 38lb 8oz and 38lb 4oz respectively. The best net outside of the Beverley Waters was Dave Pulford with 24lb 10oz of pole caught roach from opposite the Crown and Anchor Pub at Tickton.
The championships will be again run as a two day ‘festival,’ sponsored by EYevents. The Derwent round is taking place two weeks later on Sunday 12th October.
The winner of the leg on the Yorkshire Derwent last year was Julian Griffin a local East Yorkshire rod who caught 200 roach for a brilliant 26lb 11oz from Bubwith, for an excellent days fishing that earned him a grand! Second was a M. Rapier of Leeds with a bream catch at Barmby of 15lb 15oz. Third was Martin Highe again at Bubwith with 7lb 6oz.
With the match been pegged in ten peg sections over a fairly long distance as the river flows, the fishing is very varied from roach, bream and perch in lower sections to chub, dace, grayling and barbel in the waters upstream of Stamford Bridge.
Anglers are welcome just to fish one match, however there is a 1st place prize of a £1000 sponsored by EYevents for the best placed anglers after both rounds of the competition, as well as cash prizes down to 4th place.
Tickets are on sale now in tackle shops in Hull, York and Leeds, for anglers further afield you can contact Paul Caygill on 07976 779983. Tickets are £5 and must be purchased in advance of the competition.
Optional pools is £10 per match paid on the day, with all pools monies been paid out to the top three in each 10 peg section, therefore even if you draw in a less productive area you are fishing for more than the usual payout on a local commercial.
