The leaderboard in the 2025 competition is headed by the 2023 champion, Terry Feest (31lbs 1oz), There is a tie for second place  (23lb 8oz) between 2024 champion Steve Coles, Bob South and Dave Price, with Jim McLaughlin (21lb 1oz) in fifth place.  Heaviest fish of the season still sits with Terry, with his 6lbs monster from Hawkridge.


The final heat of the competition on Chew, on 20th October, is CANCELLED as due to low water levels all boat fishing on Chew is cancelled for the season.

Previously........The bank fishing competition was held at Hawkridge Reservoir on March 5th.  Several members bagged up early, including Steve Coles who won the prize for the biggest total catch.  Terry Feest won the prize for the biggest fish.

 

There was a successful day on Chew on April 28th, when 67lbs of fish were recorded (about 21 fish)

 Terry Scored heavily with his beloved snakes.  Whilst most fishing that day stuck to the more traditional patterns for feeding fish, buzzers & nymphs, at least two members eventually turned to the snake!  Dave Price scooped the biggest fish prize with his 3lb 12 oz Rainbow (also caught on a snake).
