Floods
With the snow melting thoughts of fishing our rivers has been far from
our minds. If you wanted to fish the upper or lower reaches of the Avon
then even getting near the river has been a problem. Look at our news
page to see pictures of Limpley Stoke in full flood....and the problems
you faced there on 11th Feb 2009.
With the thaw well on its way, perhaps now is the time to visit our prolific
lake venues?
Tockenham
hosts a World Champion
Callum Dicks, the son of the owner of Bristol Angling Centre, chooses
Tockenham to show off his angling skills to a National Angling Magazine.
Callum is now the under 22 world champion after his match winning performances
in matches held in Belgium on Saturday 26th and Sunday 27th July 2008.
An outstanding result and we would like to offer him our congratulations.
The picture was taken by George Waite (our chairman) while Callum was
fishing at Tockenham for the benefit of 'Totally Coarse Fishing'. The
feature article should be out in August. The cameraman standing next to
Callum is the magazine professional.
PLEASE
NOTE: we would very much like to emphasize that we no longer lease Sword
Lake which is very close to Sabre Lake

Shackells
Lake - Close Season
A reminder that Shackells Lake will be closed to all members from the
1st May to 15th June 2012 and will re-open on the 16th
June 2012 members are politely requested to read the Rules relating to
this lake which is found within their Membership Permit.
New Water
Amalgamated Fisheries Ltd are pleased to announce that they have
secured a lease on a new Stillwater lake known as the Old Cut-off section
of the River Axe at Bleadon near Weston Super Mare in Somerset. The fishery
also includes approx 600m of the River Axe on the south bank beyond the
cut off section. Full members may fish the lake water 12 months of the
year without any additional permit. Non-members day tickets are available
at £6 per day. The river section is fishable during the normal Environment
agency season from June 16th to March 14th.
Could
drivers of tall vans turning up at Tockenham Resevoir remember that the
entrance gantry has a maximum height of 6 feet 6 inches.
A
survey commissioned by the Environment Agency South West Region on the
Bristol Avon took place recently by way of D.C.Electro fishing at Christian
Malford. The survey covered 100 metres either side of the road bridge.
In that stretch they caught 206 Roach with an average length of 98mm,
and an unexpected catch of 7 Tench, a species of fish never recorded here
before, with the largest measuring 493mm.
The
Environment Agency gave this particular section a rating of B (above average).
Please
remember that as an angler you are an ambassador for the sport. It is
important to remove all litter and discarded line from your swim and return
all fish to the water with the utmost care. |
