In 2011 we will be holding competitions between us and other Angling clubs from the Forest Of Dean in Gloucestershire where we will alternate fishing between our waters and theirs.
For your chance to represent the club in these friendly comps and trips to big waters turn up to working parties to get your mark as the more marks the more chance you have going on these day and weekend trips.
Here are some of the clubs we have been in contact with:
Yorkley Angling Club
The Yorkley Angling Club have two locations in the forest.
Cannop Pools
The first being the large lakes complex in the Cannop Valley between Parkend and Pigmy Pinetum. These lakes hold good size Carp, Bream and most Coarse species. A number of Forest car parks plus the combined car park / picnic area for the forest cycle way serve these pools. Some disabled access is available via this main car park.
Speech House / 3 Islands Lake
The Speech house lake is the second venue. This is less accessible to the disabled Angler but provides a peaceful setting for the forest Angler keen on Carp and Bream and also match fish species.
Special Rules
No Boilie Bates / Bate balls (home made or shop ready) and no Tiger nuts. Full rules set available, ask at the shop.
