It has been reported that some nails and screws have been seen on the road around Jurassic Lake. I'm sure that these will have been cleared away by now but please be extra careful whilst driving or walking around this area.

Charnwood Days

It will be the first of the two "Charnwood Teach-in" days on Friday 25th July. The second will be held on the following Friday, 1st August.

Please note that Colver will be closed to ALL members for each of these two days until after the teach-ins have been completed. Many thanks for your co-operation.

As ever, we would be grateful if anyone can spare a little time to come and help the youngsters, on either or both of these two days. It mainly involves helping them set up their tackle, maybe netting fish for them or just giving a bit of advice....

Meet at 9am on the Main Car Park at Frisby, with the fishing being between 10am and 3pm.

If you require any more information please contact Kevin Hirons or Ted Whiter, their telephone numbers are in your membership book.

Lost Pole Section

Paul Taylor emailed me to let me know that he had found Harry Trantors Landing Net so that has ended well... . But it seems that Paul lost a number three Pole Section, also on Colver, So once again if you have found a Pole Section on Colver or anywhere close by; Please let me know by dropping me and email  webmaster@broomeanglingsociety.co.uk or give me a call and I will put you in touch with Paul. Thanks .

Lost Landing Net

Harry Tranter lost his Keepnet earlier this week and has asked if I could put a note on the website so that if anyone has found it we can return it to Harry. It was lost somewhere between peg 30 on Colver Lake and the main Car Park. If you do happen to find the Keepnet then please get in touch with me webmaster@broomeanglingsociety.co.uk and I will put you in touch with Harry. Thanks .

Smiggies Crayfish

It seems that the White Claw Crayfish in Smiggies Lake are becoming more prolific. Terry Newton caught two the last time he fished there on Monday (7/7/14) and also one on his previous session...

Please do not confuse these with the Red Claw Crayfish at Kilworth!!

The White Claw (as pictured above) are a protected species and MUST be returned to the water alive.

Where as the Red Claw Crayfish at Kilworth, if caught, must be removed from the water and placed in one of the blue bins provided around Lizzies Lake.

Barry finds Flash Farm

I received the following message from new Broome member Barry Smithson:

After an uneventful day fishing on Admirals Lake at Kilworth yesterday, I found my way to Flash Farm with the intention of having a look at the upper Soar there. I ended up going back to my car and I rigged up my 12' float rod and Ariel centrepin and headed off to have a crack at fishing it...

It is a tricky little river to fish but there are some cracking fish in there!  I caught them all on my sweetcorn leftovers from earlier in the day, including the Trout! That was a beauty, it was as big as the Chub, I my first Chub to be about 4lb and the pictured Chub, with the forceps next to it, to be about 5lb. I met and spoke to the farmer, he was very obliging and helpful.

I enjoyed Admirals lake though it is very weedy, I had a good session there three weeks ago with Carp to about 6lb and a Tench of 8oz and a few skimmers.

I am enjoying being a member very much. By the way, the Chub and the Trout were PB's! 

Barry also included a couple of fish he caught recently at Frisby Complex:

A couple more that I caught, this time from Jasons Pond at Frisby on my first session on a Broome water, the Crucian was a cracking little fish that was about 12oz.
