It was the club’s first visit to this venue but most enjoyed the day and it certainly won’t be the last time they visit this well run fishery.

Matchwinner was local rod Simon Boughen. He caught roach and perch on the long pole with worm and red maggot and a good tench caught late in the day saw him weigh in 10lb 14oz.
