This event was held on the waters of the newly merged Llangollen Maelor Club on 28^th & 29^th January. Thanks are due to the club for their invaluable assistance.

On Saturday morning the Dee was up and coloured, but it fell and cleared nicely in dry frosty conditions. All of the competitors caught fish over the 2 days, and a total of 188 grayling were caught and returned.

Largest grayling was caught by Alan Carloss of Nantwich, a belting fish of 45cm. The winner was organiser Martin Dixon, and the likely qualifiers for the National Final on the Dart were;
