Holgan Farm Weekend Results

Ten of Psv's finest made the journey "just across the bridge" to Ian Heaps' Holgan Farm fishery in Pembrokeshire for this 3 match weekend festival and they were treated to what must be one of the best-kept and well-designed fisheries in the country.
Ian took care of everything for us from the draw to the weigh-in and was on hand to tell everyone exactly how and where to fish their pegs and then spent plenty of time during the matches to wander round the lake and offer extra advice, much of which revolved around the "feed and plonk" method which apparently his mate the "Plonker" uses to devastating effect.
