The first trial saw just three juniors show up to fish Heron Lake in atrocious weather.

Fergus, Shaz and Chris fished the pole close in. Two 1lb weights were caught and a large 9lb weight was reeled in by Chris.

Trial number two took place on Deep Lake at Goose Green.

This time, 11 willing juniors turned up to chance their arm.

They attempted a variety of methods but it did not go well ... only three fish were caught.

Teams have been selected for the forthcoming Junior League to be held against other clubs.

Paul Hazeldine, Graham Knight and Steve Moulding helped organise the events.
