Winter Weights

During the winter we allow the local Coarse Anglers to have some of their matches at Lonsdale.

Recently 17 anglers enjoyed their match.

Winning weights were:-
1st 29lb 9ozs

2nd 21lbs

3rd 14lbs 6ozs

Total Weight Caught 180lb predominatley Roach and some bonus Tench. Averaging over 10lb per Angler - the local club really value their 4 matches here producing these weights during the winter.

November Roach

Seasoned Match Angler David Waterfield from Wigan has just enjoyed a great week's Roach fishing. - Hardly surprising really as he has been Match fishing for most of his life alongside some of the 60's & 70's match aces. Dave regularly fished side by side with Billy Makin to name just one.

Dave fished short sessions between 2 & 3 hours and every session produced between 20 to 30 fish. Some of the specimens went up to 1lb 8ozs.

The fish were taken 3 rod lengths out on caster & maggot or some of the bigger specimens were taken in the margins on worm.

Dave's parting word "I'll be back."

Matt's Pike

Hi Matt, thanks for your email .

I'm afraid your Pike is quite a bit off the record weight, but still a good fish at 22lb 7ozs. Better luck next time.

Bruce's Break

Some of you may know Bruce who runs the fishing on Loch Maben, he has just enjoyed his usual October week with us. Yet another successful week for him. Bruce found the best fisihing between the hours of 7pm & 11pm he landed 10 good Carp, the best being 21lb 8oz, the smallest being 12lb and included a bonus Grass Carp at 16lb. See you next October Bruce.

As you can see some good Carp fishing can be enjoyed at Lonsdale in the Autumn.
