River Isle – Royal Oak Winter League 4 – 27th November 2016
The river was still flooded at the start of the week but by Wednesday it was fishable again and looked lovely although the temperature has dropped a few degrees and we would be in for a chilly one today! I got to the pub in plenty of time for one of Steve’s sausage sarnies before having a look at the pegs being used today and …
Dillington Pond – 20th November 2016
With Rob away playing darts, organising this weeks match fell to me, towards the end of the week, the temperature dropped and we even had some brief flurries of snow! There was also a lot of rain forecast for the weekend but with landlord Steve off chucking arrows as well, we were meeting down the river, so would be able to see …

After a nice sausage sarnie, I had a quick look at the pegs in …

River Isle – V.E.S. Precision League 3 – 6th November 2016
With the forecast for the weekend decidedly chilly and the river still very low and clear, it was going to be hard today and a good draw would be essential.

Hebditch’s Pond – 30th October 2016
With no scheduled matches this week, Harry was keen to hold another charity match on the pond, it hadn’t been fished since August when the level was right down and the weights were a lot lower than normal so with the level back up, hopefully it would fish better today. For todays charity, Harry decided to donate the money to the fund to help rebuild …
