North House Lake
Brian Turner had the time of his life catching some of the Tench from North house he had forgotten how pretty they are and how hard they fight. He had a double take at one point which was a challenge.

Also during the same session Brian had a 2lb Eel which turned out to be an expensive catch as while playing it he stepped back and on to his landing net handle and broke it.
Sam Poffley had two of the 2017 stockies and they continue to prove they are growing on well (see original weights in brackets) One at 18lb 3oz (stockie-5 5lb 2oz) and a stunning scaled one at 20lb 6oz(stockie 8 - 8lb 2oz)
Steven Marsters had a 4lb 2oz Eel and one of the 2021 stockies at around 7.5lb both were caught while he was targeting the Tench.
Beckerings Reservoir
George Griffiths had good fun catching over 100 Perch and he also had a 15lb Common at 3am in the morning.
New member Sean Watts fishing Beckerings for the first time had a 23lb 6oz Mirror Carp at 4:15 in the morning.
Marek Marecki had 2 nice Mirror Carp.
Harry Hart had Mirrors and Commons during his session.
Oscar McFadyen had a 15lb Common.
Tim Marler had this 38lb cat from Beckerings on Saturday. He thanks bailiff Rob for the help he gave.
Daniel Lynch also had one of the reservoirs cats this one was 46lb.
Match Report, Wednesday 1st June
14 Gathered at Braggenham side this week, on an overcast and drizzly morning that threatened heavier rain from the gathering dark clouds. The air temperature was a chilly 11C, which rose to 18C as the day wore on.
The Canal looked to be holding good colour and all were looking forward to a match on a section we hadn’t fished for some time.
Even though it was the run up to Bank holiday boat traffic was reasonable with boaters sticking to the middle channel.
The fishing however was extremely disappointing, anglers struggling for bites on a Canal that seemed very out of sorts, perhaps due to the continuing low temperatures and thunderstorms the day before.
Steve Lathwell weighed 1lb 2oz 8drm to take 1st place, Barry Roper 2nd with 1lb 0oz 8drm and Dennis Hunt 3rd.
A bonus this week was that although the weather was threatening during the match the rain didn’t appear and we went home dry!
Many thanks to all who helped organising the draw this week and Colin McBeth for helping weigh in this week.
