BECKERINGS RESERVOIR

Phil Anderson was carp fishing with boilies on a size 6 hook when a 2lb 3oz roach took a liking to Phils bait. The roach are getting big in the reservoir and there are enough 2lb+ fish to make targeting them worthwhile.

Young Ethan who has attended one of our Lets Fish sessions went on holiday to France with his family and put what he had learnt to good use catching his first ever fish, hopefully the first of very many.

The latest Lets Fish event was held today Sunday 20th August and we hope to have a report and photos next week.
