River Match results
Top stretch alongside the pond
Sunday 13th September

First match since the river has refilled, pleasure weights have been reasonable leading up to today, and after the first hour it looked to be more of the same, but when the sun broke through the early cloud cover, it became a struggle for most.

Top weight today from peg 1 was John Spencer, pole fished caster on pole doing the business 🎣
Resulting in a cracking net of roach.

Second placed Tony Carline on peg 7 fished waggler and maggots, using his favoured cast and blast tactics had roach and dace.

1st John Spencer 8lb 5oz
2nd Tony Carline 4lb 14oz
3rd Phil Munslow 1lb 1oz
4th Ron Harris 1lb
5th Bob Harrison 15oz
6th Rob Green 14oz
7th Stephen Weir 10oz

Well done to everyone who took part 🎣 👏

Please note

⚠️ Unattended rods are an offence ⚠️

We have recently received several reports of anglers leaving rods unattended while fishing.

Please remember that under the National Rod Fishing Licence Byelaws, anglers must remain in control of their rod and line at all times. Leaving rods unattended is an offence and may result in enforcement action.

Aside from being illegal, unattended rods can cause unnecessary harm to fish and wildlife and create risks for other water users such as boaters and swimmers.

Please fish responsibly and ensure your rod is always attended. 🎣

The silver fish form of the river continues to show. Here, young Finlay did what his dad has so far failed to do, in banking a 1lb Derwent roach. He followed this up next cast with his first ever dace, at 8oz! Quite a brace for a seven year-old.

We're sure there will be even better to come as these fish fatten up for the colder months.

PLEASE TAKE YOUR LITTER HOME!

Our club volunteers are not here to clean up after you!

This was left on peg 10 of Wyver Lane Pond on Monday afternoon.

Any member caught littering will be brought before the Committee to explain their actions!

John Milford in his own words "A brace of pristine commons from the pond on Thursday. A lovely 17-04 mid afternoon and a 12-02 just before packing up at teatime. Both to float-fished baits on the centerpin.
