North House Lake 
Jordan Philip and Nathaniel Boston fished North House last weekend and had three 20lb+ fish between them.

Jordan fished again on Tuesday for a short session of only a few hours and had this 24lb Mirror within the first 10 minutes of the session.

Also at North House Bailiff Brian Turner had a great looking Dark Common at 21lb

Beckerings Reservoir

Matthew Scott and David Flint Cox had a good session on Beckerings and caught multiple fish and said the surface fishing was great as usual.

Jamie Gladish also caught one of the Beckerings beauties and he also reported a new PB Common for his mate Ty Foster.

We also received a report that the carp known as Half Lin was caught by someone surface fishing weighing 35lb along with another common of 25lb - these were not reported officially so we do not have any pictures.

Match Reports

Five anglers fished the Wednesday Knock up match this week, They fished an ‘Away’ venue this week as some of them needed to practice for the Canal Pairs heat to be held at the end of August. The group fished the Aylesbury Arm of the GUC at Bierton, Bridge 15 on the Arm to be precise. The day started quite chilly and still but warmed up as it went on with a very blustery wind getting up later. 

Top angler was Barry Roper who put 113 fish for 5lbs 12oz on the scales. Barry caught his mixed bag on Caster fished on the bottom in the centre of the Canal. 

Second was Richard Gibbs with 2lb 11oz and third was Nuala Gray with 2lb 5oz.

 

The day wasn't entirely without incident, with Nuala having two sections of her pole blown off the rest on into the Canal on two occasions, fortunately they were retrieved! they also had a boat that couldn't steer, which provided some entertainment, they made captain Pugwash look like the captain of the QE2, it’s hard to describe the incompetence politely.

 

If anyone is thinking of fishing the venue soon you do need to take a weed rake.

 

They said that they will almost certainly be back to fish there again in the Autumn.

 

This week on Wednesday the group will fish Cooks Wharf, meet in the Car Park for a 9am walk off draw fish 10 till 3, £5.00 optional pools, non-members are welcome to join us provided they pay the day ticket
