I have just agreed a 6 year lease on a pond in Huthwaite and am taking names of people who would like to become members the inaugural meeting is at 7pm tonight to arrange the date for the first AGM set club fees rules and put the constitution in place.I have just got back from my chat with the EA I found the meeting very helpful he checked the water and gave it a clean bill of health and said he would try and arrange funding for at least some of the pegs and also said he would arrange for a fish stock check by netting the pond he gave me some very useful literature and sound advice that's my license fee well spent for more details on the fishery or how to become a member send me a pm

One of a few nice Perch from Sutton Lawn a very under estimated water containing a nice bag of big fish including a 27 1/2 lbs mirror carp pulled out by a new member last week one of five he had in the session

we had several Bream including my 8lbs pb and several more in that region I didn't manage a Barble myself but lost two and was pleased to at least see these two caught by my mates Neil and Chris http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.2...bdc0&type=1
