2023 - December 17th - Christmas Fur and Feather match on Wigston AC Canal at South Wigston and Glen Parva - Mick Carr's report

The annual Fur and Feather match ran by WIGSTON AC is a must fish competition . Its not the fishing that really matters as its the event of the day with warmth banter and laughter at the morning breakfast to the evening results and prize draw . The competition organiser front man is Adam Nurse (UK COLMIC manager) and his team (Wigston AC committee) always put a great day on and this is complimented with the use of the MANOR restaurant . 



The Manor Restaurant bar - no doubt the lads will occupy this when back later 








My draw was peg 41





Time to view and evaluate what is my office for the day .......Peg 41







Nice reed beds opposite , target area ?













Match completed and it fished hard for the majority. I returned my 10 punch roach caught down the track and one small Perch bottom of the near side ledge. Most of the lads did say they caught early unless you were on a 'ball' of fish of course.

All the Best
