Anglers planning to compete in the Angling Times Team Championships Final will have to take their fishing lures to a different location this year as the venue has moved.
The competition will be held on the Willen and Furzton Lakes in Milton Keynes and not on Peterborough's River Nene after organisers made the decision to move the event.
Official Ken Wade told the publication he was "genuinely excited" for the change, but admitted that he was slightly disappointed to be bidding farewell to the former venue.
"It will be a sad day to see the match moved off the Nene because it's my local river … but it does look as if it's run its course," he said.
Some teams threatened to boycott the final in recent years due to the lack of flow on the Nene and abundance of weeds.
Earlier this month, the Angling Times supported plans to build a new National Angling Centre capable of hosting the World Championships.
