The junior festival is back for the third year and has grown each year in numbers with 38 juniors aged 15 and under fishing the festival this year.
The lakes being used are once again Jennys & Trelawney, which have proved popular with the youngsters.
Drennan have once again pledged their support and this year as well as a goodie bag for all entrants they have also supplied some amazing prizes as well as additional prizes brought with the sponsorship money from Coke and their entrance fees.
