Talent Pathway – Regional Final

Today I’ve been at Barston for the Talent pathway regional final. I’ve been in the u15s section and I’ve drawn 114. I’ve set up 2 waggler rods at 30m and a pole line at 11.5m. I’ve fired 12 balls on the waggler and thrown 6 balls and cupped 2 on the pole. We spent the first 1hr 30mins on the waggler and in this time I had 2 skimmers and a roach, fishing a maggot and double bloodworm. Then we had to spend the rest of the match on the pole. It started slow only getting the odd roach but I kept cupping in hoping for a strong last hour. I’ve had my first skimmer on the pole with 1hr left and then I’ve had a good period where I’ve caught 6 skimmers and a few roach. I’ve ended up with 7lb 6oz which was good enough to get a England trial😀 Also the team came 2nd so well done to everyone. A big thank you to all the coaches for giving loads of help and my dad for getting me there🎣

Well done Ryan, and congratulations on selection for the England trials on 28th April. Best of Luck
