ABBEY ANGLING CLUB

Orihuela Costa Spain ( Also the home of Rod N Reels angling club )

On Friday 6th October 23 anglers from Abbey anglers and Rod & Reels made up of anglers from The uk, France and Holland visited the famous Embalse at Arcos De La Frontera, near to Seville, for a five day fishing festival.

We stopped at the Hotel Meson De  la Molinare situated on the banks of the lake in bungalows adjacent to the Hotel.

The lake is heavily stocked with Carp and Barbel and access is situated at the side of the hotel. The area is a haven for water sport enthusiasts, with canoes, water sking, water boarding and lots of othe water based activities.

The festival took the format of a daily pairs competition along with daily section prizes and an overall competition based on weight.

Day 1. Saw Brad Cannon take the honours with over 28kg of fish mainly carp on pellet with Lenny Bolton finishing second using corn on the feeder and Doug Hornblow took 3rd.

The fith and final day was a straight match up between Brad Cannon and the former Welsh international Doug Hornblow to take the overall festival. What made it more appealing was they were drawn together. After a very close encounter and with Brad loosing a big barbel during the match, the old stager Doug took the honours from the you prentender Brad. Brads father Bill Cannon took the overall on the day.

Hi you can only fish if you are stopping in the hotel on the lake or have a federation card and licence this is virtually unobtainable unless you stop in the hotel

Martin Palmer
