Jack Tisdall, NCFFI Vice Chairman and Event Organiser says:- Lure angling is becoming one of the fastest growing disciplines in predator fishing and already attracts many anglers to Ireland. We are delighted to be hosting this international event attracting many of the worlds top lure anglers to Craigavon City Lakes.
The Championships will be held on the North Lake on Saturday 23rd and Sunday 24th of May between 10am and 3pm. Anglers will be targeting the venues for pike, perch and stocked rainbow trout. All fish will be caught using barbless hooks, netted and returned immediately to the water. Each fish caught scores one point therefore no weighing or measuring is required.
Why not come along to observe the skill of these international standard lure anglers including the current World Champions Team Slovakia and of course cheer on Team Ireland?
The Craigavon Lakes are part of the public angling estate and fall under the direct remit of DCAL who will prepare and stock the venue as well as providing the NCFFI with stewarding assistance during the event.
