Salford Friendly Anglers Society turns 200 years old on the 2nd April 2017 – to celebrate our bicentenary we will be holding a number of special events and competitions.
Our first event is the “200 Year Anniversary Challenge”
This challenge is quite simple – catch as many different species of freshwater fish as you can in 2017
We have listed 45 fish species to have a go at. (see the list below)
The whole idea of this challenge is to challenge yourself – to catch fish you have never caught before, to visit venues you have never fished before, and to try techniques you have never used before….. the emphasis is on going out and enjoying your fishing.
Anglers who catch 20 species of fish will win an enamel badge, those who go on to catch 30+ will win an embroided cloth badge to sew on their fishing jacket
You do not need to send us your pictures of captures – the whole competition runs on an honesty basis – just catch the fish, then come along to a club meeting to collect your badge.
At the end of the year, we will award 3 special prizes for the anglers who catch the highest number of different species on bait, lure or fly….. so there is something to go at for anglers of all disciplines.
Have fun – catch fish
