It is not just the carp that are being reported this month we have members telling us of their catches which include Catfish to 26lb, tench to 8lb 08ozs and bream to 12lb and their is a string of carp to just over 30lb, we closed most of the water for 10 days while the carp and tench were spawning and this seen to be a great success, and now they settle down and started to feed again.

Rode Pool Has been very patchy over the last few weeks with members reporting dry nets, but now it is producing some good bags of bream and tench.
