PREDATOR FISHING
Wojciech Dunaj went lure fishing last weekend and managed to catch a pike from the Ouse at Eaton Ford and a pike from South lagoon.
Dave Brosnan caught two very nice pike from North House.
Mark Zan and Filip Dunaj both caught very nice pike from South Lagoon.
Gareth Evans caught a beautiful 11.5lb pike from North House.
THE GREAT OUSE
Despite the river Ouse being flooded, Filip Dunaj still decided to fish it and this resulted in a cracking winter common.
Over the past couple of years we have been carrying out improvement work at our River Ouse venue at Eaton Ford turning it from a wilderness into a nice place to fish. The latest phase of the work has involved clearance of all the fallen trees and vegetation in and around the backwater channel and pool. Our next phase when the ground is drier and firmer is to remove some of the silt from the pool for extra depth. We have already seen fish moving around in the backwater and think this will make a great place to fish in the winter when the main river is in flood as well as providing a spawning area for fish in the spring. Thanks to Stewart the bailiff for arranging the resources to get this work completed.
NORTH HOUSE LAKE
Over the past seasons the water level in North House l has slowly been dropping . The club has been endeavouring to establish the reason as historically the lake has been naturally filled by an inlet pipe that was feed by a spring or by the water table when it was high enough. This season board members have contacted the EA to obtain permission to allow the club to pump water from the nearby river and have been organising the necessary pumping equipment. However with the extreme weather we have experienced over the past few weeks the bailiffs are reporting that for the first time in many years water from the river is actually pushing up the lakes overflow pipe and by passing a settlement chamber and can be seen entering the lake. They are estimating that if it continues over the next few days the lake will be back to its normal level.
WEBSITE DEVELOPMENT
With all the wet weather we have started to add a river level widget to our river venues pages on the club website. The data is taken from the nearest monitoring station to the venue so should give a good indication of the current river state.
