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.
