reminder that this site is now sponsored by Queensway Angling of Hemel
Hempstead.
Each
month, Queensway Angling are offering special offers exclusively
to VAC members. This month they are inviting you to
refresh your reels
Mention
the VAC website and get 15% off most
reels in stock. Ask Mark nicely and he'll also do you a deal on all the
line you might need.
Remember,
Queensway Angling offer a large range of major brands - just phone
01442 254 723 for a quote.
Talking of line, Queensway still
have ample stocks of Silstar Match Team.
This was one of the first 'cult'
lines and is brilliant for waggler fishing and for match carp. Silstar
have gone bust along with DAM so once it's gone it's gone.
Working Parties - Last call for
working parties. Contact the
bailiff of the venue(s) that suit. Please phone at sensible hours
(6pm - 9pm is usually best).

New
Waters & New Fish
The
club is always keen to extend the waters it controls and,
at the time of writing, we are negotiating regarding access to
two different river venues:
Full
details will hopefully be ready for publication by the time
the river season starts so check back here frequently.

details on all our fisheries just click here.

Over
two hundred pounds of tench to 7lb and bream to 5lb pound
were introduced to the Car Park Pool at Frogmore last month.
These
were in addition to around two hundred pounds of quality
roach, crucians, perch (to over 2lb) and bream split between
Riverside and Frogmore.
Also news
from Smallford last month of some small carp (3lb & 6lb)
being caught which suggest a successful spawning a few years
ago. Have you caught a small carp from Smallford? If so let us
know.

Frogmore,
both lakes - June 23rd
Marford
(long & short walks), Radwell short stretch, River Flit all will
remain closed due to Foot & Mouth until further notice.
ALL OTHER
FISHERIES WILL BE OPEN FROM JUNE 16TH.
Obviously,
these fisheries will be reviewed on a weekly basis and hope that they will
be re-opened as soon as possible.
It should be
stressed that all members visiting ANY of our fisheries in particular at
Felmersham and Radwell that they follow sensible precautions when visitng
these waters.
For example,
keep clear of any animals and do not under any circumstances visit the
fishery if they have recently been to an infected area.
Frogmore
2000; sun, rain & memories by Kate Godding
I
awoke to a beautiful summers day in July of last year. After the
usual 'wakeup' cup of tea and long relaxing shower, Dave and I sat
at the breakfast table
discussing our plan of action for the day. It was a tossup between
shopping in Watford and a leisurely days fishing.

Any articles, photos and comments
would be welcome. With a thousand members I'm sure some of you
must be capable of producing some quality photos of fish from
club waters.
Two contributions this month, a nice 20lb common
by Nick Marsh and a 24lb mirror from Smallford by young Andrew
Killinger.
 
You
still have a chance of winning a PC for the best
contribution.
Just
send to me via email if you can (or email for a postal address)
something suitable for this web site and the best entry received by
the end of June will win a previously loved Compaq PC.
