Cameron Hughes has won the Drennan Rive Silverfish Festival with an impressive 112b catch of roach and skimmers over two days.
This is the first year that this prestigious event has been run at the prolific White Acres holiday complex in Cornwall. The 78-strong field included 20 invited anglers from France, the Drennan Team England squad and a host of other top names.
The event was run as a float-only competition with a 13m pole limit and strictly no carp, crucians or F1s counted… although more than a few were hooked in the unseasonably mild conditions!
The top five anglers all posted two section wins but it was Cameron Hughes that stole the show.

Match Fishing’s Joe Carass just had to get the laptop out and tell you about his latest exploits!
I would love to say to you that this week has seen me achieve levels of success that I have never seen before. Sadly I cant, and quite frankly my results this week were pants.
Now I certainly don’t claim to be a top angler, more a competent one. But readers of our magazine or these very blogs could be forgiven for thinking that the top guys never have bad matches.

Feeder World Champion Steve Ringer has won more matches than he can remember with bream, so who better to learn from than the master himself?It is no secret that fishing for bream is my all-time favourite style of fishing. I just love setting a trap of bait and then working out how best to catch these big ‘aquatic sheep’. Venues such as Ferry Meadows, where I am today, are very much my passion and hopefully I will be able to pass on some sound advice to help you get among more slabs. Ferry is one of the few remaining traditional bream waters, as far as I am concerned, and the way the matches are run here – Method feeders and boilies are banned – mean that traditional tactics are also required.
