Change of Venue for Teams of Four

(Edited by: Sarah Thomson, 11th June 2008 13:40PM)

The Teams of Four match on Saturday 14th June will not be using Colton Lake and we will now put two sections on Railway Lake.

We have rectified the problem but following an oxygen crash at Colton we will not be fishing the lake over the weekend in order for the fish to have time to recover fully without being held in keepnets.  Instead we will put 2 sections on Railway Lake.

The draw is still at Barford at 9.30am.

Spro Showcase event

This was held yesterday and I'm pretty sure it rained all day!! Many thanks to John, Nigel and Nick who stuck it out in the wet and thanks to those of you who braved the weather to have a go on the pellet waggler rods.

It was though a little bit of a wash out!! The positives from the event is that it gave Daniel a better opportunity to check out the Spro products - he was most impressed with the new pellet waggler rods and there's some other very good rods around the £50 mark, which we may be featuring in the shop.  The luggage we viewed was extremely well made, and well worth a look. 

And what can I say about those floats!!??  Very good - almost indestructable and very versatile.  They land flat so they don't dive under the water and spook your fish when fishing mid-water and your hook bait always lands behind your float (good when fishing to an island or far bank). 

The other plus is that we hope that John will be returning again - but on a less wet day!!
