IMPORTANT NOTICE.

We potentially have a blue green algae bloom at Crockerton. This has not been confirmed yet but the EA are coming out to run tests. In the meantime you can still fish. However there is a risk of upset stomach, particularly in young children.
We recommend that you don't take dogs with you for the time being as they can become very ill, and even die.
After making contact with the water, and before eating or drinking, wash your hands using the facilities provided.
After fishing wash your kit at the tap provided and let it dry in the sun. The suns UV rays kill the algae and prevents transfers between waters.
We will keep you updated.

Due to the continuing hot weather, rising water temperatures, and declining dissolved oxygen levels, may I remind all members that there is a keepnet ban in place on all club waters. Taking this one step farther, after Tuesday, all matches on club waters are cancelled until Sunday 13th of September when we are due to fish Berkley, however that depends on the weather, water temps/level, dissolved oxygen etc.
The only reason we're letting the matches go ahead Sunday and Tuesday is people have booked their bait, taken days off etc and it would be unfair on the tackle shops to cancelled at such short notice. Thank you for your understanding.
Lets pray for rain.
