Clawford Fishing Festivals.

2008 FESTIVALS.

The Autumn Clawford, 'Nutrabaits Fishing Festival' will take place between 13th. & 19th. September 2008.

The prize money.

In 2008, for every angler taking part in the 7 day event, Clawford donates £ 50 as prize money. This year, there is no festival entrance fee.

Presently, with the number of anglers already booked, the match anglers will be fishing for £1,500 prize money.

We still have another 3 months to increase booking numbers, we still have a few units left.

Remember, the more anglers that take part in the festival, the bigger the prize money.
