The weather tested competitors but this year's Clubs New Zealand National Trout Fishing Competition was as popular as ever.

Tournament co-ordinator Alan Macfarlane said the event, held over three days last week, attracted 88 entries.

"With the weather a bit against us, it made for some interesting fishing but everyone had an even playing field and lots of stories to tell at weigh-in and prize giving."

Rotorua Citizens Club president Tom Hulton said the tournament went "extremely well".

"Sponsors have been wonderful and have worked closely with our team.The organisers put a lot of effort into the running of the tournament and they put on a great show.

"Next year's tournament is already being planned and is proposed for November 11-14. Entries are not restricted to Clubs New Zealand members as we want this tournament to grow."
