AVON
LEAGUE RECORD BROKEN AGAIN - July 2009
In
July 2008 the Avon Commercial League individual record was broken at Tockenham
Reservoir when Paul Barnfield posted a score just over 92lbs. This year
it has been broken again, but at Sabre Lake Calne. The match was split
between Sabre and Tockenham with the smaller venue eclipsing its larger
neighbour.
Stuart White from Chippenham fishing for Premier Angling Black recorded
at terrific total of exactly 104lbs! Fishing along the long bank at Sabre
he caught no fewer than seven Double figure Carp ranging from 13lbs 12oz
to 10lbs 9 oz, two others between 9 & 10lbs and a 5lb 7 oz Bream giving
him his “ton up” total. Sabre also produthe match.
Individual Results:ced four of the top six weights on the day with Carp
and Bream being caught all around the lake despite very difficult and
windy conditions throughout
1. Stuart White Premier Black 104 lbs (Sabre)
2. Paul Barnfield Bacons Tackle 77lbs 10oz (Sabre)
3. Mark Wooldridge Premier Gold 47lbs 6 oz (Sabre)
4. John Garner Premier Gold 40lbs 11oz (Tockenham)
5. Derek Greenman Scorpions 33lbs (Tockenham)
6. Andy Hyde Premier Gold 32 lbs 10oz (Sabre)
With
over half the field recording double figure catches on the day, the quality
of our two Wiltshire lakes was shown to be outstanding.

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?

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 NOTE: we would very much like to emphasize that we no longer lease
Sword Lake which is very close to Sabre Lake
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.
