Updates

Slow start to the week as 2 poor guys get 1 small perch for 13 hours fishing.A bit of rain livened things up with one half day session netting 8 Tench and losing 5 with a smattering of Perch. Carp boys did well with 5 doubles to 25 lbs.
No non members this week.

WHAT DO YOU WANT??

After a very interesting meeting with Pete Turner of the Environment Agency a load of different options have been put forward to improve the fishery. BUT, what do you lot want from it?
Andy Stonehouse and I have done our best, with help from the local police team, to create a safe environment free from illegal fishing.
We have made moves to get the overgrown banks and lilly infestation sorted which should bear fruit before April next year.
Next on the list is the fish.. What do you want in there? More Bream, Carp, Tench? Should we re-introduce Roach or Rudd? Pike even?

Updates

No illegal fishing last week (that I know of). Load of kids camping and leaving a mess on Thurs.
Lots of members fishing and more to the point catching!
Looks like people actually angling is stirring the fish up.
Left messages again with EA and Parks last week about clear up and re-stocking.

Crucian Carp :)

My first Crucian Carp at Paul's Pond, caught on lob worm. Well chuffed, think it was about 2lb in weight..

i caught 4 tench today 2 on spam, 2 on corn.

Last week

Quite a few members fishing last week with some great Tench out again. One bloke "fishing" without a ticket but with the gear he had the fish were completeley safe. And he'd only had one cast when I rocked up to spoil his evening.
Lots of fish showing and members are policing the pond really well.
