GREAT OUSE BIDDENHAM
Despite the river running very high and coloured Fergal O'Kane braved the conditions and was rewarded with a nice sized pike. Fergal tells us not to park at the river end of the car park as where the river has flooded the ground is very water logged and there is evidence that at least 1 car has been stuck.
BECKERINGS RESERVOIR
Lots going on at the reservoir this week with water being pumped back in by the farmer and the willows are being given their annual cut also by the farmer to comply with the reservoir inspector and insurance requirements.
On the fishing front we are told that Tom had an incredible 16 carp during his session while most others only managed up to 3 fish. Luke Marvin managed a lovely looking mirror carp fishing with Thripsters Baits.
Adrian Jaworski caught a very good sized pike while fishing a deadbait on a spot he had baited heavily with chopped mackerel
COACHING 2018
Our coaching team have hit the ground running in 2018 following their successful 2017
A report in from our level 2 coach Dennis Hunt - 'Myself Mark Brooks and Richard Gibbs went to Foxton today and did the recce for the CRT taster days on 10th and 11th February. We were met by Matthew from CRT who was very helpful and showed us the lie of the land and where we were to fish.
We unloaded the gear, set up and all started catching using different methods, I used punch and the other two using Pinkies. Despite a challenging wind we all caught well, with the biggest fish falling to Mark, a Perch of about 1 1/2 Lbs on a whip. Mark estimated I had about 10Lbs of Roach on Punch at about 7 metres.
Really looking forward to the taster sessions if it fishes like today it will be spot on'.
We hope to have the 2018 local taster dates very soon.
