IT was safe to say that this years Fur & Feather competition at Llyngwyn was probably the best ever for fish caught.
27 anglers competed from all over Wales and England, catching 86 fish, with a total weight of 180 lbs.
The winner was Mark Morris of Shrewsbury with six fish for 17lb 13oz. He also had the heaviest fish weighing 6lb 15oz.
In second place was Nicky Bull of Knighton with six fish weighing 14lb 4oz and third was Alex Morris of Shrewsbury with six fish for 13lb 10oz.
The Rhayader and Elan Valley Angling Association said: "We’d like to say thank you to Bob the Butcher for his excellent selection of 14 Poultry Prizes and the Lamb and Flag for providing an excellent Christmas dinner afterwards."
