Although not perfect, the conditions on the River Frome today were better than expected. The level is still low, but it still had a little flow. Most fish bread or meat on the lead and everyone caught. Come the weigh in after a 20 year absence from match fishing Andy Curtis took first place with 16lb 8ozs of chub.
2nd was Rob Trim with 10lb 8ozs of chub.
Paul Cook took 3rd with 4lb 3ozs of chub and losing a monster.
Dave England vows to return with stronger tackle after losing 6 chub? On the manhole swim.
Well done all that fished.

We have a lot of new junior members joining and I ask that they and their parents read the club rules before fishing. Juniors should be accompanied by an adult unless they become a member of the gudgeon club (details from the bailiffs on the bank). All members need to have a landing net and disgorger or forceps and if fishing for carp or specimen fish, an unhooking mat. The use of lures and spinners seem popular with juniors, but there are very few if any pike in the clubs lakes and the perch are not large enough to take the size of lures being used, so please don't use them. We don't want the problems they have had at vivash.
People not sticking to the rules will be asked to leave the water.
