The ethos and purpose of the Rover Trophy is to encourage and promote fishing across all of the club waters.
Primarily to motivate more members to fish our migratory fish waters, and ultimately to catch fish from all eight club waters during the current season.
It is decidedly not a competition, but rather a challenge, and its success or otherwise is to be gauged by how many members discover or rediscover the joy of catching wild fish in wild places.
The entry to the challenge is by a timely submission of the annual returns, i.e. by the 25th of November of the current season.
All members who make a return by that date will be considered for the trophy.
The criteria for the award is as stated – To catch at least one fish from as many, or, the ultimate goal, all of the clubs’ waters. Using any method allowed, relative to that water.
Priority will be given to the migratory fish waters, and consideration will also be given to numbers and weights of all fish caught (except those taken from our stocked trout waters, which still need to be fished).
In the event of multiple members equalling the waters fished successfully, if necessary, the Committee will make a final decision as to the successful recipient member.
DDAC stalwart and ex- president Tom Henry is 80 this weekend, we wish him well and many more years fishing … Happy Birthday Tom 🎂
