ANGLERS from across the country converged on a North-East reservoir at the weekend to compete for prestigious trophies and titles.
About 120 fly fishers cast lines for rainbow and blue trout at Northumbrian Water's Derwent Reservoir, near Consett, in the Water Industry Game Fishing Championships.
Teams of six anglers from the country's ten big water and sewerage companies and also from the Environment Agency regions and head office and representatives from British Waterways were invited to take part.
Northumbrian Water was also represented.
More than 20 individual, team and section winner prizes and trophies were awarded at a ceremony after the match at the Derwent Manor Hotel, close to the reservoir.
