Graham, who runs the on-site tackle shop (tel: 01926 842188) along with match ace Pete Rice, has all the info we need going into 2005 and they will take your open match bookings. The Bottom Pool (29 pegs) is very well protected from the elements and holds some massive lumps going up to 25lb … […]

Garbolino Silver Fish FestivalUmbrellas and wet weather gear were the key for the start of day three. It was dull and overcast with the occasional showers but the weather didn’t dampen anyone’s spirit especially Adam Wakelin’s as he went in to day 3 being first overall. Adam leading with 2 section wins then went on […]

Sunday open results 1st Barry Walters- Notts 15-8-0 on peg 15 also won golden peg.2nd Frank Tibor- Derby-6-8-03rd Phil Charlton-Derby-4-8-0 Fished on bottom lake, caught carp and barbel on pellet. Next matches on Saturday, Sundays and Wednesday.

Mal Storey, from his Kidderminster tackle shop (tel: 01562 745221), sends us to Trimpley in search of barbel from ‘babies’ to doubles and good ‘rubber-dubs’, where you’ll find plenty of mid-Severn features in the form of fords, islands and bubbling runs. Feeder with caster and hemp the norm, but put a pinch of pellets in […]

Blake Hall Lake (40 pegs) reigns supreme if you’ve got pellets in your carryall, with 3mm & 6mm Blake Hall own brand for feed, but you can put whatever type on the hook you prefer. Two pints, which equals 2 bags and two quid, sold on site, will do any angler well for a day’s […]

Brian at Mal Storey’s tackle shop in Kidderminster (tel: 01562 745221) sends us to Arley and Ribbesford (end of the KDAA stretch) for roach and chub fishing along with the odd interloper in the form of barbel … what else to expect on the Severn? Look for the shallower faster water, with white maggot feed […]

All waters are fishing better than ever at the moment with warm weather encouraging the fish. The Main Loch continues to improve and more people who habitually fished the Carp ponds are trying the Main Loch for the first time, enjoying the change and variety of fishing. The Island and Top ponds are still fishing […]

 The fine weather has really boosted the fishing, particularly on the Island Pond where lots of 20lb, 30lb and even 50lb catches of carp are being taken. Even when temperatures cool down (it is Spring after all) the carp are still obliging and the F1 carp are feeding strongly backed by lots of fish of […]

Spring is officially springing so things are definitely looking up now! Some nice catches for pleasure anglers on all 3 waters are as a result of water temperatures creeping up a few degrees. We will still get the odd cold snap over the the next few weeks so you still need to take the conditions […]

An innovative new wave making machine has now installed on the top pond that is keeping the pond free from ice throughout the freezing nights. Some fishing can now be virtually guaranteed when waters all around are frozen solid! The slight flow created encourages the fish to feed even when frezing and of course it […]

Unfortunately there were no fireworks to report in November – in fact it was something of a damp squid (pardon the pun).  Despite the best efforts of all the visiting anglers, nobody deigned to enter a qualifying fish – and this at a time when prime specimens and LOADSA PRIZES were there for the taking.  […]

Last week we saw a bombardment of joker balled in in a 5 minute prebaiting period by 31 of the best anglers, inc. Downes, Cox, Teale, and Ashby.It is the first time this has been done on this lake and frankly it didn’t work! This lake is only 3 to 4 foot deep on the […]

Brian at Mal Storey’s tackle shop in Kidderminster (tel: 01562 745221) sends us to the BAA stretch at Stourport this month for a touch of roach fishing on the float. With fish averaging 12oz and plenty well over the pound mark, they are certainly worth a go, and although bronze or tumeric covered maggots are […]

Regarding the Plym Estuary, from West Saltram Beach and all the marks heading north up the estuary (except the road side) you are not permitted to fish this area as this is National Trust Land and although there are no signs saying no fishing there is a very good chance you will be told to […]
