The pellets have changed now and are available in 4, 6 and 8mm, but you can still only use those bagged and supplied by the fishery.

For those that haven't fished there recently, be aware that you can use a ledger rod in conjunction with a running feeder, no straight leads allowed, and also a waggler rod should you wish.

Right, I've (ok, me n the other half) have been sat here trying to work out the permitations for different numbers of anglers turning up on the day and going off the comments from the last one about spreading the money out because this is a 'friendly' get together, not an open match , so this is what we have come up with. No matter how many turn up, it's £150 for the lake, then :-

25 anglers-
1st - £70
2nd - £60
3rd - £40
then 4 sections of £20

24 anglers-
1st - £70
2nd - £50
3rd - £34
then 4 sections of £20

23 anglers-
1st - £65
2nd - £43
3rd - £30
then 4 sections of £20

22 anglers-
1st - £60
2nd - £35
3rd - £27
then 4 sections of £20

21 anglers-
1st - £51
2nd - £30
3rd - £25
then 4 sections of £20

20 anglers-
1st - £45
2nd - £30
3rd - £25
then 4 sections of £17.50

19 anglers-
1st - £50
2nd - £35
3rd - £20
then 4 sections of £16

18 anglers-
1st - £50
2nd - £35
3rd - £20
then 2 sections 0f £16.50

I've cocked up this time by not getting the peg fees up-front, sorry chaps, but I never expected to be short for this match. If there is a different number of anglers it will be worked out on the day and announced before the draw. Hopefully it wont be any less, I've tried to make it that anyone picking up money wont get less than it cost them, ok, they might only be 50p better off, but that's not what its about
Any complaints please feel free to pm me

Cant really help with what worked as NOTHING did.

I know Dirk sprayed Caster all day for the win but thats about it really.

Also note to all fishing Thursday SOME pegs are still under water so wellies or dry socks will be a good idea.

Better than Summers and a LOT cheaper....

Ref rules same as before really except for the change in pellets supplied (cant remember if they had changed for last PolePot Special down there).

Should fish better on Thursday than it did Saturday as there is an Open on Wednesday and it normally fishes better the day after a match.

Also with less fishing it leaves more room.
