Result for the penultimate 3 hour Wednesday evening series fished on McCowens pool 02/09/26 -

🥇Phil Clarke peg 9, 33lb 8oz meat
🥈Allan Price peg 18, 31lb 4oz meat
🥉Alan Hale peg 12, 9lb 14oz pellet

Silver winner with 2lb 13oz - Roger Mason

With both Phil & Allan catching the same number of Carp, it was the better stamp of fish that gave Phil the win.
1 good sized Carp was good enough for third place Alan.
Catching from the whistle Roger included Roach,Perch,Gudgeon & Rudd in his winning silver weight.

Phil's 4th win in the series gives him a points lead going into the last match that cannot be caught making him the overall champion. Well done Phil.
Jeff made it a tight run affair finishing up a respectable 2nd, again he carries a lead over 3rd that cannot be caught. Well done Jeff.

Final match is next Wednesday 09/09/26
Draw at 16.00
Fishing 16.30 - 19.30

It’s with great sadness we advise on the passing of Clive Cummings, family man and to all that met him a true gentleman, he was a long term committee member and could always be relied upon when required, his sensible and logical council applied to his friendship as well as his fishing. His name is immortalised on every one of our competition cups. He will be sadly missed by us all.

Had a compliant from one of the neighbours at Bishopswood tonight, it appears that 3 anglers are parking on private land, leaving the van and going fishing at the bottom of the Bishopswood section.
Firstly no club member should be parking there, secondly we don't know if they are even members, if you are please contact us and i will remove the pictures of your van, if anyone knows the owner let us know, if it turns out they are non members we can take further action for theft of fishing rites. We also have pictures of the anglers returning to the van!

Any car found parking in this area will now automatically see there vehicle posted on here, its simple stop parking where your not welcome, there is no need for it, just use our own car park.

DEAR MEMBERS PLEASE BE AWARE AND VIGILANT!

Due to the present water levels and temperatures reducing the amount of angling presence, we are being poached daily on the Wye, several instances poaching in the last week, where even when warned they just move and return! In this week we have had one instance of 40lb of fish confiscated and returned to the river ( mostly dead) two more individuals thrown off and moved, an entire family from Colford that think its free fishing! This is on top of all the swimmers, campers, canoe and paddle boarders using the beaches as resorts defecating , littering and building fires (do we need to tell you the issue there with Thomas wood next to us. There is no control on gravels that are spawning grounds.
On top of this the wantent damage to fences, gates and farmers crops on what is Private land. It seems that Wye is a playground for the hungry and vacationers 😡😡😡
