Hello

It's been a little while since the last update but both waters are fishing very well. We are very pleased to welcome all our new day ticket visitors who have been fishing with us. The rod averages have been as high as 9+ on F1 and 5.5 on F2 the average across the last two weeks has been 4.2 on F1 and 2.9 on F2. The banks have out fished the boats this week. Notable fish were caught by Darren Gravitt a beautiful full finned R/B @12lb 3oz and Paul Throth had an equally well conditioned R/B @ 10lb 3oz. Both fish were taken from the West bank on lures. There have been some very nice Browns caught but no details as they all go straight back in.

The water level on both waters are well up and clarity is excellent, there are a lot of fry in the margins and many fish seen chasing them.

We are only a few weeks away from the Charity Christmas Match (Sat 18th December). A good number have signed up but I am aware their are many more who have said they will attend but as yet have not submitted individual names. Please ring in this week if you are coming along so we can start to plan for catering. The number to call is 07747640707. I’m told the Army are putting in a few anglers and the RAF lets have your names please folks.
We hope to run a raffle and donation prizes are welcome. We have a couple of nice items that have been donated and if we receive a few more we will be able to auction them on the day. Don't forget the proceeds are going to 'Casting for Recovery' (Breast Cancer recovery therapy). This is the last push for funds as next years collections will be for 'Help the Hero's'.

See you all soon I hope
