The 1st Thames 3 day festival was fished by 41 anglers on the Thames around Oxford on the 3rd to 5th September . Despite the sweltering temperatures and the lack of flow the river fished exceptionally. The event was very successful and will definitely become a yearly event that will grow. Big well done to organiser Paul Glenfield and his daughter Rachel.
