IMPORTANT
NOTICE
Some of you may be aware that Network Rail erected a new fence at
the “Cabbage Patch” Limpley Stoke, in doing so the normal
access way has been fenced in. Hopefully within the next few weeks
the fence will be replaced with a gate, which will alleviate any
problems. We apologise to our permit holders for the present inconvenience.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Plans are well ahead to carry out major maintenance work at Tockenham
Reservior when the weather improves and it may mean the closure
of the Lake for a short period. Notices will be displayed when works
will commence.

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.

I think we all did rather well, I personlly had a brilliant days fishing,
I had 195 fish, it was magic, I did not even put anything but bread on
my hook. I love the canal, wish all the matches were on canals.
Congratulations
to Tim Ford (shown below) of the Amalgamated Fisheries Team on winning
the Bristol & West Federation Poppy Match. He had a magnificent weight
of 61 lbs consisting of roach and bream. Tim you are having a wonderful
season. Tim must think he owns this match as he has won
it twice before.

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
As
from the 1st January 2008, the existing Veterans Card System will cease
and a Veteran "Life Permit" will be issued for a one off fee
of £10.00.
