Fortunately the worst of the weather held off for the 2025 North Wales Junior Championships, held at The Rosie in Wepre Park on 20 September.

The 18 competitors had a good day, and everyone went away with a prize.

Half the competitors fished for the lake’s carp and the others fished for what they could catch but, unfortunately, the recent heavy rains affected the fishing and bites were hard to come by.

Fishing the pole with maggots, Osian Fitzjohn, caught a mixture of tench, skimmers, roach and ide to take the win with 13lb 11oz.

Carp anglers took the next two places and second place went to Harry Lett, with a fine carp and four micro roach, for a total of 8lb 2oz and third went to Riley Jones with a single carp of 7lb 13oz.

Thanks must go to all the competitors, their parents/guardians/relatives that came to support them, Connahs Quay A.C. for the use of the lake and a donation towards the prizes, and John Lawton (secretary) for arranging the booking on, Mark, Josh and Chelsea (Bailiffs) for helping out on the day, Deeside Tackle for helping towards the prizes, Dan Gallop at Stamford Way Fishery for the loan of keepnets.

Thank you to all of you for supporting the event.
