| Today saw the launch of the Maggie’s midsummer angling challenge, which will see teams of fly-fishers compete at Ledyatt Loch, Piperdam and Kingennie Fisheries.
The trout-fishing event takes place on June 10 and will be hosted by TV personalities and keen anglers Fiona Armstrong and Paul Young.
Fundraising co-ordinator Valerie Busher said, “We hope to be as successful as last year and raise £10,000 on the day. There will be a charity auction with fabulous items including a guided weekend in the last great wilderness for the winning team.”
Other prizes donated include salmon fishing on the South Esk and top-quality tackle.
The entry fee for teams is £300 and even if the fish aren’t biting, contestants are still guaranteed a good meal thanks to a spit-roasted pig barbecue.
Entry forms are available by contacting Valerie at the Maggie’s Centre on Dundee 496384. |
