Results – Brecon, Powys. 10/04/22

Another new venue for the BFCC, Brecon in beautiful South Wales, with some great trout rivers that provided some excellent fishing either side of the competition day. On the day casters had a light breeze but had to contend with it swinging direction regularly, so it was rarely aligned with the measuring tapes. The competition kicked off with the accuracy event followed by a break for a very tasty bacon baguette. The T38, S55 and T120 were next up, followed by the #5, #7 and ST27 in the afternoon. The following results are in feet and inches:
