NINETY-five anglers braved the cold to fish the first Angling Trust event of the new year, The Wyvern Open Festival, at Beesands and Slapton.

Strong easterly winds gradually built to make fishing difficult. The competition was judged on the best fish of two species.

Ashley Cockram, of Teignmouth SAS, won with a combination of a near specimen flounder and a whiting. He was presented with the top prize of £150 and the Brixham Bowl.
