Allesandra has already broken a record as the first female to win a title at Otley Angling Club and now holds the record for the first female to win the title twice.

Sunday: The Otley Angling Club officials match was held at Brafferton on the F1 Match Lake. Eleven anglers fished netting over 665 Lb total catch which is a club record. The top three anglers all netted over 100 Lb. Jason Whitehead won the match with 113 Lb, Jim Smith a close second with 109.8 Lb and Robert Eden 105 Lb. Many thanks to David, Brafferton Fishery owner for his kind hospitality and superb breakfast.

A club member was taking a last walk around the club pond on Sunday evening at 8.00pm when nearly dark when 4 men were seen at the top of the pond by peg 3. The men obviously didn't know the angler was still there as they made a hasty exit down the river bank to where they were parked in the Otley AC inlet nearby. The incident was imediatley reported to the police who sent a car to investigate. If you see similar suspicious activity you must report it to our Otley Police hotline on 0845 6060606 who will take any similar activity seriously and investigate
