Match report to follow...
With only 10 anglers fishing on a very hot morning, everyone had plenty of room to maximise their catch potential. Peg 48 was the winner, with Jake Heaver landing 32lb 9oz on the pellet waggler. Wilf Squires on peg 53 came second with five carp for 23lb 8oz. Richard Faithful was on peg 46 and came third with 16lb 12oz on the feeder. New faces were sadly few and far despite this being our open championship open to all anglers.

A new venture, silver fish only, was well supported with 13 anglers fishing. A warm morning with a slight breeze greeted us at the draw. With Carp showing on the surface of the lake, all were prepared for a battle. With feeder, waggler and pole in use, all avenues were covered. All anglers were plagued by nuisance carp which did not count in the silver fish only match. Steve Myers fishing Peg 28 was the winner with 12lbs 5oz, followed by Steve Thame on Peg 30 with 11lbs 10oz, third Chris Evans on Peg 52 with 9lbs 15oz and fourth Richard Faithful on Peg 46 with 7lbs 3oz. Steve Thame caught a Bream of 6lbs 8oz which is entered for the Specimen Cup. Total weight caught by the anglers was 67lbs.

Should we continue next season with a silver fish match, perhaps Bellwood is worth considering where the carp may not be such a problem. Any thoughts? Please submit your views via This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
