There was a prize of a free lesson, Full day, Boat & Motor worth £100 for the 150th big fish caught By George Smith from Shrewsbury and there is now a prize for the 200th big fish caught, Well it was caught by Lyn Davies, so now we are having a prize for the 250th big fish caught will win the prize again.

Kid’s school on Sunday morning 10 until 12. Please put this in the paper. Free school for under 16’s every week Sundays at 10.00 until 12.00 they can come every week and learn to cast how to fish everything. If its raining we will teach them how to make flies and I will get some guest fishermen Charles Jardine and Karl Humphries etc and if we get enough kids they can have a competition between themselves or maybe against another junior club. They may even go for the England youth team.

273 Double figure fish have been stocked at Cound. We have videoed the events again for those who are sceptical, which is now showing on our T.V in the office for all to see. Cound policy on BIG Fish is that everything has to be killed, whether included in your bag where you take the fish home or catch and release where we keep the fish and donate it to local blind school or charity. I am now re-stocking every week what comes out goes back in (Including the Double’s). Watch this space. This is to kick start the arrival of our new cage which should be up and running this summer…A FREE copy of you with your fish with every big fish caught on DVD.
