October Bank Clearing

With so little rain there has been very little bank side growth. Four members turned out on a Thursday morning to tend to the “less used” pegs. Frank & Pete strimmed & Roger & Dave reduced the height of some of the steps made possible with a donation of concrete blocks from Andy C. Pegs 2 & 3 had steps repaired & we went off for a beer.

We have given up on pegs 9 & 12, both badly silted with nearside stalks, Peg 5 has had a platform upgrade.

September Match Chat

11/10/25: Roger did well to win the eighth Aggregate Match at BAA Ladyham weighing over 10lb of small Roach on the Bolo apparently catching off the bottom on Maggot. There was good back up weights & Steve M. reported losing three large fish he thought were big Perch.

18/10/2025: There were no surprises at the first Winter League Match at Fladbury. The river has been down & clear all season & settled again with small Roach on the Bolo from the upstream three pegs.

25/10/2025: The second Winter League match on the Droitwich Canal at Ombersley Way (Winter League & the Canal series). Ten out, most of the pegs where to the right of the bridge, everyone caught on maggot & Pinky.
