Also on North House Brett Collins fished his first ever session and after speaking with knowledgeable Bailiff Brian Turner he followed some of the tips and useful advice given about the lake and this paid off resulting in a 19lb 8oz Mirror - he sends his thanks to Brian for the info

Wednesday Knock Up Match report 29 July 2020

Here is this weeks Wednesday match report from Dennis Hunt:- It was great to be back on the Canal for the first time in months today. Five anglers came and fished the knock up at Slapton on a warm, still and overcast day perfect for canal fishing. It was good to see another new face Ceiron, who came and fished with us for the first time today. Numbers of baits and methods were used Maggot and pinkies with Groundbait being the most successful methods

The Canal fished well, everybody having an enjoyable day with no blank nets, which is what really matters.
