WE ARE IN DISCUSIONS ABOUT A NEW FORMAT ON THE SPRING LEAGUE, WILL MAKE ALL CLEAR TOMORROW EVENING, SO MAKE SURE YOU LOOK IN.

We would like to take the opportunity to say a happy Christmas to every body who comes to the lake, and a big thanks to Simon Eddie and Paul who help and contribution is greatly appreciated.

Last year was a very difficult and challenging time , the extreme temperatures and icy conditions at the start of the year was the forerunner of what was to come, fluctuating  weather patterns played a part right through out the year effecting fishing, also the unseasonal high temperatures later on did not help the fishing and even today with the unusual high temperatures are unreal.

we have opens on Wednesday and Saturday and Sunday this week so we look forward to seeing you, if not on these matches in the new year,So for now we wish you a very happy and peaceful Christmas

SUNDAY 11TH

A total change in the weather, no frost but a very brisk  south westerly wind turning very blustery  during the match made conditions extremely difficult for the anglers on the far bank, at times it was hard to present at static bait at more than 6 metres, due to wind and tow.
