Should be a long nice steady drop now with little rain forecast hence its good running water.

Must be some fish this weekend I would have thought and next week looks prime time for a springer though bottom beats will have to wait until at least midweek perhaps.




Superb fish from Whitney beat one.  Taken spinning a cock fish weighed in the net at 32lbs to Steve Dawes.  Following on from his recent 28pounder. Congrats Steve.

Fish being returned by Nathan Jubb.

Some of you may have signed this petition.  Good result- on paper at least.


The Government has responded to the petition you signed – “Ensure the British fishing waters are returned to the UK post Brexit”.
Government responded:
On leaving the EU, the UK will control fisheries access in its Exclusive Economic Zone and manage those waters in accordance with international law, including the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea.
As a coastal state outside the EU, the UK will be responsible, under international law, for control of UK waters and the sustainable management of fisheries within the UK’s Exclusive economic Zone. The UK will negotiate as an independent coastal state.
We want to use this opportunity to create a resilient, competitive and ultimately more profitable UK Seafood sector, and deliver a cleaner, healthier and more productive marine environment. We will work to achieve the best possible deal for the whole of the UK fishing industry in negotiations.
