Secretary’s Blog November 2025

That time of the year again

Next Meeting is 10/12/2025 where we plan for the AGM & if you want anything raised let us know. The AGM will be held at the Village Inn on Wednesday 21/1/2026 starting at 7.30pm.

Fishery Status

We had a very dry season up to the end of November resulting in a low river & very little bank side growth so we didn’t need the tractors second visit. The fishing suffered, with the oxygenated water around Pegs 22 to 26 needed to frame.

Now late November the weather has changed, with the river pacey a Saturday scramble saw only Chub caught in certain pegs & cars had to be towed out of the Fishery.     

November 2025 Match Results

8/11/2026.  The final Aggregate match was transferred from Fladbury to the Railway stretch of the Droitwich Canal, result:- Gary 6-0-0, Mark V. 2-13-0 & Pete W, 1-7-0.

Completion of the Aggregate Series.

Keith Kite won the series comfortably having a day off on the final match, the guys in the money are Keith 22, Dave U, 30 & Frank on 35 points, well done guys.

To find our Canal Champ we fish 3 matches early in the season & count the 2 canal matches in the Winter League. This seasons winner is Andy Lacey, well done Andy.

Winter League Series

With two December Fladbury matches to go we have Andy Lacey on 3, Roger Middleton on 4 & Keith Kite on 5 points.

November Match Chat

8/11/2026.  The final Aggregate match on the Leisure centre stretch of the Droitwich Canal was hard for most. Pegs 7, 8 & 9 scored, the rest were scratching for bites.

15/11/2026.  The third Winter League match at BAA Stoke Works doubles up as the final Canal series match. We had 12 out on a hard & cold canal. Three had more than two pound, everyone caught but it was a struggle for bites for most with the canal dropping throughout.

Match Turnout This Season

Typical turnout all season but the exception has been the Canal Matches. It seems that we currently have a group of guys relishing the Canal Matches. We had 12 out at Stoke Works in the November Winter League followed by 11 out for a November Tuesday scramble, amazing.
