Omar Homes Summer Festival Report

1 August 2016 Fishing News & Match Results

Omar Homes Summer Festival , July 25- 29 (71 anglers)
Our biggest festival to date was well attended and saw a very generous £5,000 added sponsorship from Omar Park and Leisure Homes added to the prize fund.
The fishing was terrific over the five days, despite torrential rain on two of them, and there were no fewer than 33 weights over 200lb and a staggering 131 100lb-plus catches of F1s and carp. The anglers were split into three groups for the week, determined by a random first day draw of pegs, and the lakes in use over the week were Bonsai, Loco, Beeches, Benny’s, Willows and Laurels. Here are the highlights of the results…
