Report – June & early July 2000
Riverside Road.
Fishing very well with all species showing well. Plenty of hard fighting Carp to 15lb taking floaters, boillies, and most other baits. Plenty of Tench to 4.5lb and many small Tench in the 2-3 year class which we are pleased to report are ‘home grown’.
Many good Roach are reported to 2lb with most baits taking fish. The three hour match record was broken twice with a top weight of 34lb comprising all Roach.
Crucians are also showing extremely well.
Frogmore.
Match Pool....Fishing well at most times except matches! PLenty of Carp to 14lb reported with some nice Rudd and Perch. Fishing stealthily and tight to the reed beds with corn or pellet appears to be producing the goods!
Car park Lake....All species showing reasonably well with Carp to 15lb and Bream to 6lb reported over the last week. Tench to 4lb and plenty of silver fish showing well on corn and pellet.
Smallford.
Fishing has been slow over the last week or so with only a few fish to 23lb reported. Some good bags of Roach and Rudd were reported last week with one member having 25lb in one session.
Marford Farm.
Fishing extremely well with Chub, Barbel and Roach providing hectic sport from most swims Carp to 10lb are also reported. 150lb and 50lb mixed bags have been reported from the short stretch and incidentally are not from the hot swims!
All baits are producing fish
with no real hot method..take your pick! On
the long walk we have received reports of good numbers of Chub showing well from
most swims with some good sized Roach and one or two Barbel to 4lb. No signs of
the 3.5lb Perch that was taken last season......watch this space!
Leasey Bridge.
Fishing well with all species showing well from the Backwater and River. In particular, the Backwater was producing some fine bags of quality Roach with the river providing the action with Chub and Barbel.
Felmersham.
Following a slow start to the season we are now receiving reports of some good sized Tench to 5.5lb, Bream and Chub. Roach appear to have been reluctant to feed and we are still waiting for some signs of some decent Barbel.
Barbel have been reported to 11lb and plenty of Chub between 4lb and 5lb.
Nothing to report.
During the first week of the season a Carp of 40lb was reported from Railway Pit and a 91lb bag of Bream to 9,5lb each were reported from Lea Pit.
Very slow start but Tench are reported to 8lb and Bream to 7lb.
