Is it really June? Fishing in the rain again!!!
Today’s match was fished on Fir Tree pond. I put in a couple of the shallow pegs today(14 & 15) which in hind sight wasn’t the best choice of pegs as most fish were caught in deeper water, but for those on a deep peg it fished well. Here are the results:
1st Tony Jose (pictured) peg 3 65lb 10oz
2nd Neil Hodder peg 11 49lb 12oz
3rd Mike O Gorman peg 7 48lb 8oz

Bad weather Good fishing!! (For most)
Today’s match on Heron Lake was a tale of two halves, one half of the lake fished really well, unfortunately the other half didn’t! This was due to the wind blowing down towards peg 19. We had a good turnout and with 8 of us fishing the £100 bonus was up for grabs! I sat watching Adrian Holland bagging up on peg 19 and felt sure it was going today, here are the results :
1st Adrian Holland (Pictured top) peg 19 90lb 4oz
2nd Nigel Taylor (Pictured Botom) peg 16 81lb 8oz
3rd Tony Jose peg 14 47lb 8oz and biggest fish 7lb 10oz
4th Neil Hodder peg 3 44lb 4oz

We had a good turnout for today’s open which was fished on Heron Lake and with 8 of us fishing the £100 bonus was up for grabs! Alex Bradley drew first and pulled peg 5 from the bag and after Adrian Holland’s result from that peg last week I was worried I was going to be down £100 by the end of the day! But fishing was a bit harder than usual, which I think is due to the unsettled weather that we have over us at the moment. Having said that some good weights were had but fishing was patchy. Here are the results:
1st Chris Symons (pictured) peg 3 69lb 2oz
2nd Mike O Gorman peg 9 63lb 8oz
3rd Alex Bradley peg 5 43lb 12oz and biggest fish prize 9lb 9oz
4th John Maundrell peg 19 38lb 9oz
Chris fished at 13 metres to the lily pad at the edge of the island. He fished pellet on the deck and shallow for his catch.
Well done Chris and thanks to everyone who came. Our next match is an open next Sunday.

Fir Tree Pond, Matches »
Had a great open today fishing in beautiful, warm sunshine. The Carp we’re spawning in Heron Lake so we fished on Fir Tree Pond. Alex Bradley (Pictured) drew peg 11, he had a good moan, but I knew he would do well and although the stamp of fish he caught was small, he set a new record for the lake (That’s both lakes he now holds the record for!) Here are the results:
1st Alex Bradley Peg 11 72lb 15oz
2nd Aide Holland Peg 15 64lb 6oz
3rd Neil Hodder Peg 4 58lb 4oz and biggest fish bonus with 4lb Mirror Carp
Well done Alex. Thanks to everyone who came it was a really enjoyable day.
Our next match will be Sunday 5th June. Hope to see you there

Sunday’s match was fished on Heron Lake and although Alex had a good weight it fished a bit iffy, I think that the carp may have something else on their minds other than feeding!! Here are the results:
- Alex Bradley peg 15 72lb 10oz
- Aide Holland Peg 19 29lb 8oz
Alex tried a few different lines and tactics but found that corn and pellet down the edge was the most productive on the day. Well done Alex.
Thanks to Tony Jose for running the match while I was away and thanks to everyone who came.
Our next open is Sunday 29th May
