With a general lack of fish coming to pole tactics Tom topped a string of feeder weights fishing to the island to just pip in a close finish. Well done men.
In light of the very sad news received during the match a minutes silence was observed prior to the results for John Parkinson. He will be sorely missed.

Another wind battered reservoir with considerable undertow. Cheers storm Dave !!
The majority of fish came from the farm bank with the roadside being poor again. Nige C was one of the few who persisted with the pole, although managing 9 metres was still an endurance test. Feeding maggot over groundbait he put together a mainly Roach net for a comfortable win.
Well done Nige.

A few Crucians and Skimmers put in an appearance today , however it was sheer numbers of mainly small Roach, Rudd and Perch that won the day for Barry. Fishing maggot and pinkie over groundbait he amassed around 200:fish on 3 and 4mtr whips to finish well clear.
Well done Barry.

With a very cold morning and bright conditions following Saturdays open match the fishing was every bit as hard as expected. Barry continued where he left off last weekend with another win.
The majority of his fish came on his long line with expanders over micros. Mainly F1s with the odd bonus carp.
Well done Barry.

A lovely day to be out with good sized carp seen spawning all around the lake.
Recent reports of good nets of mixed species had hopes up for a good day. However, it proved to be a difficult day at the office for most , especially when early cloud cover disappeared.
Highlight of the day was undoubtedly Gary's 13-8-0 Common that took a liking to his paste presented close in. He added Crucians and Skimmers to take a very comfortable win.
Well done Gary.

Although Tench had been feeding well around the lake in the run up , it was Rudd , Roach and Perch in the main making up the weights. The shallower end of the pond fished better on the day although bites still tailed off quickly in the bright conditions.
Nigel Collis made the most of the opening period , catching silvers shallow on the pole to lift the trophy and repeat his 2025 success. Well done Nige and framers.

Groundhog day !!
Another trophy win for Gary employing his favourite paste method. With bright hot conditions he had to go to 16mtrs to the central island to catch , alternating with the margins to net a mixture of F1s and carp to win by a comfortable margin on a difficult day.
Well done Gary.

2nd Nigel Ripley 2-4-0. Peg 4.
3rd Lee Richardson 1-11-0. Peg 5.
Gin clear water and didn't bode well for good sport and it proved to be a very tough match. Roach refused to settle over feed and we're very quick to back off. Mark worked 4.5 and 6 mtr whips with maggot over groundbait from his peg on the deep corner to record what was a comfortable win in a small fish match.
Well done Mark.
