Re: Closed season Commercial stillwaters and fish care do not go hand in hand and private fisheries are able to replace their fish so yes, I do consider river species special. Maybe the close season is out dated but there is no reason to change it other than from a selfish perspective. As for the contradiction - this very thread has two opposing arguments. 1) an angler visits the banks and rarely sees anyone. 2) having the season open all year will provide a presence when poachers hit during spring. Are really suggesting there's not a contradiction? Posted on May 22, 2018 at 3:48 PM
Re: Closed season Dave Harrell and co want it so they and the other matchmen can make more money. Great idea keeping fish in a keepnet, then tipping them down it to the weigh net during spawning season. There are so many contradictory arguments put forward such as the rivers are empty so will make no difference versus having people on the bank 365 days a year will prevent poaching. Which one is it?

Re: Ken Aske RIP I was a member during the early to mid-nineties and have fond memories of those days. Ken and Janice gave up a lot of time every week to take us out all over the place. RIP. Posted on January 01, 2018 at 1:34 PM
Re: Still water pike venue, help please You are allowed to take one pike (upto 65cm) a day if club rules allow so they weren't technically wrong. Posted on December 28, 2017 at 10:36 PM
