It is hoped that this fantastic new event will attract carp anglers from right across the globe, and will become an extremely popular event, well supported within Wales. We are very confident that the prize table of £20,001 will elevate the Wales Carp Masters instantly to a standing of one of the richest carp-angling tournaments in the world.

RE: CELTIC LAKES
I am writing to you to let you know of the incredible time we had over the weekend of 18th-20th may at CELTIC LAKES. We entered the competition for the WELSH CARP MASTERS and this wonderful
Place was our venue for the qualifying round.
I have never been there before as its 70 mile from where we live in the Neath area, but the next fishing trip we go on will be back there.
The owner of CELTIC LAKES is JOHN CARNEY, he was extremely helpful and nothing was too much trouble. He picked up food for us at the local chip shop and brought it to us at the lake; before the competition started he laid on hot food and hot drinks and during the weekend brought us stake and beef rolls to the swim.
He is a lovely family man with a great family around him. All the help at the lake TRACEY (Johns wife) JOHN (Johns son), JUDY, ANDREW, & THE 2 JASONS, Were very nice people, nothing was too much trouble for any of them.
The Lake and the surrounding banks were clean and tidy; the fish were hard
Fighting and well looked after. The fishery is set in beautiful country side and the scenery was fantastic.
I am not the type of person to type letters but this one had to be written as we were both blown away by the CELTIC LAKES experience.
We went on to win the round and will now fish the final on the 18th – 20th September.
We also set a new Welsh Record of 512 lb for a 40 hour competition.
We are looking forward to the final and looking forward to seeing our new friends at Celtic Lakes.
The future of welsh fishing is CELTIC LAKES.
Thank you for taking the time to read this letter

There's a strong possibility that Sky Sports will be filming the final as negotations have been underway because of the size of the prize money
