Results of BDCA 1st match of the year at Horcott Lakes.
This time around we were hosted by Horcott Lakes around the stunning Coswolds area for our first match of the year.
The weather wasn’t on our side the whole weekend which was very unfortunate, out of 20 anglers – only 4 carp were caught. In my opinion, that’s still a very good result. Many others would’ve blanked under the same conditions but not us BDCA people!
Overall a good weekend, beautiful weather (not for fishing 
) And a great social for everyone else, we had 2 new members. It’s always great to see new faces at BDCA!!
