The Fishing Village was set in a prime position on the lake at Ragley Hall beckoning to all visitors as they came in through the entry gates.
Sunday marked the end of The British Fly Casting Club (BFCC) three-day competitions, and competitors gathered for the Ragley Game Fair Championship and overall, Champion of the casting challenges.
The Ladies Accuracy daily competition saw a consistent winner with Paula Zimmeman once again taking first place. In the Trout and Salmon Distance challenge Jo Stephens took the top place with a first win of the weekend for her.
The Men’s daily results had quite a tale to tell with Dennis Grocer winning the Accuracy daily competition with an almost perfect score of 58 out of 60.
The Junior Champion was the same winner as last year and the 2025 Scottish Game Fair, Jack Gow showing amazing consistency once again.
Turning to the Ragley Hall Game Fair Championship Stuart Ross gets a special mention for achieving fourth place, a very popular and successful senior caster. Nick Moore was third, Tracy Thomas second and top prize went to James Evans. The overall Championship was also awarded to James. A broken hand certainly didn’t stop James – who injured it at the beginning of a fishing holiday earlier this summer. “I won it two years ago,” he commented. “There’s been a gap on the mantel piece ever since and I am very happy to have the trophy back in its rightful place.”
