With the combination of rain, hail and snow there were
very few anglers out on the bank last weekend. At North House Lake, Wyboston
the colder weather did not put off the carp. Bruce Starling caught a trio of
twenties, all mirrors, weighing in at 24lbs 14ozs, 24lbs and 22lbs 10ozs. Ivan
Sayer caught a 17lb 3oz common.
Very few anglers on Beckerings Reservoir, Steppingley,
last week, only reports of fish getting hooked and coming off, which reminds
me that this is the venue for the next work party on Sunday 6th April,
starting at 9.00am. These work parties are for members and prospective members
who would like to find out more about a particular water. Volunteers will
qualify for discounted membership. The remaining work parties are as follows:-

from a 3lb + perch coming out near the Globe but it was the final round of

Yet again the weather conspired against the anglers
with almost an inch of snow falling between the draw and anglers reaching the
canal bank, finding the pegs became interesting. Falling temperatures meant
bites were going to be hard to come by and the top three individuals all came
from 'D' Section adjacent to the Globe Pub where the smaller skimmers switched
on and off through the day . Skimmers were present in all the leading
weights as roach failed to show . Steve Davis landed 14 small skimmers and a
bonus perch to take the honours and the top individual spot for the series.
Fox Match Blackhorse took the team honours on the day and ousted Milton Keynes
from the league title in the process.
