Too Long since the last post ....................apologies guys

I cant believe how fast time flies by, it must be my age. Work is commanding my time at the weekends so my fishing has mainly been weekday afternoon sessions. Having said this the third round of Binghams Winter league was a sunday match on the Barrow Canal, I drew right in the middle of the match, an end peg is such an advantage on these cold water matches, and so it proved, with the end pegs coming first and second, my mate Dan was pegged nearest the locks and worked hard on punch and worm to take 3lb 5 I believe, second weight from the other end was 2lb 15of roach on pinkie, I was third5 fish 14 oz.
  With the final leg of Bingham AC's winter league due to be fished on a very fickle Fishpool, Richard Landon asked if I could have a quick session on the lake, to asses if the warmer days had prompted any fishy responces. I went to peg 13 as the wind was less of a problem than any other peg, 3 chucks with bomb and corn=3 carp, 3lb ish each, another angler on the lake had caught 60 odd roach and skimmers so I set up a light maggot rig fished 7m out,flouro pinkie was the bait, 2 and a half hours later 4 more carp and 3lb of silvers, this on top of news from our bailiff Alan Snow that he'd had 6 carp the day before and a guy sat on peg 13 had 5 carp. The phonecall to Richard was made and the decision was pretty easy to make, only a downturn in the weather would scupper the plan.
So it was to prove, the wind and rain was forecast to arrive early on the morning of the match. I fed 5 pole lines , one at 4m then 10m to an island and three lines at 14m in open deep water. I had a carp on the 10m line after an hour, it was the only significant fish in the match at that stage, and so the banter began, and so unfortuneately did the wind and rain, with the wind in my face a brolly was a no hoper as was holding a pole at 14m, the 10m line and the 4m line were wind whipped and by now just holding the pole was painful, my hands were so cold, but with 3 and a half hours to go I needed a plan, I went back to the car park to get an extra coat and some work gloves, I was now seriously cold and wet and really not feeling very well. I plonked a method feeder out into open water, the method carried 3mm swimstim pellets with double dead red maggots on a size 18, thankfully the tip went round after 15 mins, another carp of 3lb, that gave me confidence to just sit the match out, keep as warm as I could and to keep fishing up to the final whistle, I had 3 more carp and lost another, 16lb odd for first place in the match and a very pleasant win in the league table too. Thank you Richard and the other guys from Bingham for a thoroughly enjoyable league, plenty of banter and laughs, and a few fish too.
With the end of the river season galloping toward us , my fishing buddy Dan and I had a bit of a think where we could go and catch some fish, I rarely fish the Soar above Leicester and with this being Dans stomping ground I knew he'd have a place we could go, but his e mail confirmed the fishing over there was poor at best at the moment so after reading a match report from the Old Nene at March we thought we'd have a go, with great anticipation I purchased some squatt from Melton Angling Centre, and found all my old river rigs from the good old Soar Valley Winter League days, on arrival we found one angler on the stretch, he was piking, and he'd had 11 in two hours, hells bells I thought we might have some trouble today. Dan fished a worm feeder and a 10m pole line, he caught steadily throughout with some half pound skimmers and perch, plus some rudd. I fished 4m and 11m feeding groundbait and pinkies at 4m and hemp, caster and groundbait on the long line, Rudd came immediately with fish to 10oz throughout the day, switching between the two lines I ended up with 15lb odd, Dan had a big 6lb, the amazing thing was that despite our piking neighbour ending up with 20 pike , both Dan and I didn't suffer a single pike attack all day, surreal.
I'm not sure where I will spend my next couple of months fishing, Broomes BJ's lake probably.


AMAL Business This month's AMAL meeting will be the AGM meeting, all member clubs can send a representative, our treasurer will produce the balance sheet and answer any questions regarding the clubs finances, I will give a resume of the running of the club, and again answer any questions. The delegates will then vote to re elect or not, the present committee if those committee members wish to stand for another year. As a committee we have decided not to increase any affiliation fees or book/season ticket prices. Continuing financial pressures on Anglers pockets means for the time being we will strive to work with the budget we have in place. The AMAL match due to be fished on 22nd March at Fishpool has been cancelled

Is it just me, but are the nights drawing out?

Its been a couple of weeks since the last post, nothing much to report from my fishing trips, two visits to the junction of the Barrow canal and the Soar below Barrow lock and above Barrow bridge, the thought was that it would be a fish haven , away from the "raging" Soar, its 6foot deep and pretty still, with a few house boats permanently moored, and hence throwing scraps into the water, I thought it had got to be fish soup in there.................nope. 10hours on a feeder, with worm or red maggot on the hook, one roach, gutted. I also had an afternoon on Broomes AS's BJ's lake, again coloured water with a wind blowing up to my end of the lake, one rod with pellet , the other worm.................no line bites let alone a proper pull. So my next trip will be with Bingham AC on the Barrow canal next Sunday, anyone wanting to fish should leave me a message on here. TTFN


Amal Business
Not a lot to report on the club front, a couple of match bookings to report, please see the list below. Also one of our member clubs Ratby had a match on Fishpool last Sunday a reasonable result despite the coloured water that we are experiencing at the lake at the moment.

In first place was Dominic Lanni  with 13.00 (peg 10) using corn on the straight lead.

This was Dominic's third consecutive win in the series  

 In second place was Geoff Winder with 11.12 (peg 6) and third was Jeff Bloxham with 5.10 (peg 13)

A week of floods and fishing

As January passes us by, the rain seems to have been an ever present across the county. I fished on one of the Amal member clubs( Broome Angling Society ) lake called BJ's, its a true gravel pit,  normally clear, weedy and fishes pretty hard, mainly due I suspect due to the large amount of natural food,  the resident carp are averaging 12lb or so with some bigger girls from the original stockings pushing 20lb. Its not unknown to have blanks here, in fact several blanks on the bounce. I went to view the lake one afternoon after some days of heavy rain, the lake was top of the bank ie 18inches up and chocolate, I ran home and grabbed the kit, I fished for 3hours, the first fish a 14lb 8 beauty of a common carp caught on hair rigged pellet coupled with a PVA bag of 4mm pellets , came from the middle of the lake, the second fish couldn't have come to a more different method, freelined lobworm 2rod lengths out, again a common topped the scales at 10lb exactly. I didn't take photo's due to the fact my radio died so I put the camera batteries in the radio, and it was so wet and cold that they stayed in the radio. So chuffed with my evenings sport I went back two days later, and after 5hrs without even a line bite I retired to the warmth of home.
I was aware after a few dry days that water levels were dropping so not wishing to miss the chance I fished below Barrow Deep Lock, just where the canal outlet meets the main River Soar just yards above Barrow bridge. I fished two rods one with 14mm Halibut pellet and the other with white chocolate boilie. My left rod bobbin rose an inch after an hour, then the bite alarm light up the reel span, I thought it must be a carp....................no, an angry 3lb8 chub scrapped to the net, looking really washed out with all the coloured flood water, and defineately not the carp I'd hoped for.
My last trip out was a match on the Barrow canal with the lads from Bingham AC, I didn't get lucky with the draw bag in that I missed the end pegs, the canal was still coloured though not quite the filthy chocolate of two weeks ago. I didn't think bread punch would be a goer, but I fed it just to see, I was wrong it did get a bite or two but with the slight flow on the canal I feared my feed would be all over the shop, so I fished a metre and half further up the shelf in 3foot of water and less flow, and there I caught steadily, fish between 3oz and bottle top size, despite feeding some casters they just wouldn't have the shell's. The angler to my left had 3 netter perch in the last half hour and I feared a stuffing was on the cards, thankfully my 3lb 4 was enough to win, but luck played its part again, Dan on peg 1 nearest the lock had a nice deep peg with some potential for better quality fish, and so it proved today, Dan hooked a lump on worm hookbait, it snagged him then came free, only to have the hooklink break possibly damaged line caused by the snag, his mainly punch caught catch went 2lb10. Third was 1lb14, so the canal was defineatly coming back to form, I'm looking forward to the next match in two weeks.


AMAL Business


The Amal's Stillwater Fishpool near Waltham on the Wolds, is fishing as most lakes are at this time of year, someone's going to sit on the fish and trick a few into taking the bait, others are on an empty peg and despite some astute angling, fail to get any action. Member club Ratby AC fished there last week and the result was 

In first place was Dominic Lanni  with 17.11 off peg 6 using maggot on the pole.

 In second place was Paul Cayless with 10.14 (peg 12) and third was Billy Hill with 4.12 (peg 18) many thanks to Ratby chairman Geoff Winder for keeping me up to date with their results.

The Amal has just had its quarterly meeting, no major issues to talk of, the clubs finances look like showing a profit for the first time in several years, this is down to the hard work of a dedicated committee and member clubs who actively use the Amal waters as well as subscribe to the club. Thank you to them all. The match bookings for Amal waters are as follows

One Week, Two Matches, One Fish, In The Payout Twice

Well that was a week that was, the first outing was the monthly Amal match at Fishpool, the lake was still carrying colour from the Christmas rains, but the morning of the match saw the thermometer go to minus 4 and cat ice had formed at the shallow end of the lake, 8 anglers had booked in, 6 showed up the other two had spoken to me the day before and there was no suggestion of a no show but they did, no call no text, sooo annoying. The match was hard, if you had any wind on the water in your peg you blanked, if it was still you stood a chance. My step son Ryan fished but decided he couldn't afford the pools, so I paid his pools on the proviso that I claimed half his winning should he pick up a brown envelope, suffice to say he drew probably the best peg on the lake ( 10 ) , fished it like a pro and won with 11lb odd four carp on bomb and corn ,

2nd weight from peg 12 was 9lb 5 three carp and some bits well done Geoff Bloxham, and a hard earned third by Dave Kimber with 12 fish for 1lb 12, as he wouldn't stop telling us , he had more fish than the rest of us put together lol. So ryan won and despite my biteless blank, I removed 20quid from his cold fingers, cheers Ryan ;-)
And so to the next Sunday and an invite from Bingham AC's chairman Richard Landon to fish their winter league on the Barrow Canal, as I'd mentioned a few weeks ago this water never floods even when the Soars "bombing through "and so it was proven on the day, the canal resembled cold tea and a cold wind with the promise of yet more rain meant we were in for a grueller. 5 hardy souls made the draw and I suspected end pegs would be a premium, I drew peg 2, oh no, so I planned a groundbait and pinkie line just going up the far shelf and a similar line on my near shelf but 6m to my left thus having my back to the wind and potential rain later in the match, at the all in I primed my lines and sat down for a coffee and Jaffa cake breather before fishing, this was disturbed by the guy to my right having a roach first chuck and I thought , well its either stuffed with fish or this guys lucky, he failed to worry the fish after that so it was the later lol. I couldn't buy a bite despite scaring myself with the size of the hooks I was using, 22's and 24's , help. Then I noticed some bubbling on my far shelf line so I switched rigs and put a tiny piece of worm and fluro pinkie over there, more bubbles and I feared it might have been a carp , which would have seen my tiddler rig off in the blink of an eye, the float dipped and I lifted into a solid thump, I drew the pole back and after a quick tussle netted a big bream, yeh, I cupped in a few dozen casters and some bubbling continued for another hour but no bites followed, the wind picked up, my fingers froze and the switch to my fish laden nearside line produced, not a single bite , so that was it. 4lb 1 went the big girl, with 4oz coming 2nd and 3oz third from end peg 1. I didn't have to endure more than an hour of ribbing after this, my new nicknames now "Spawny Twat" So I picked up the brown envelope through my own endevours this time.

One of our member clubs Ratby Ac had a match at Fishpool on the 4th January, a great result came from the lake despite the coloured water and pretty rubbish weather, it went like this

 In first place was Dominic Lanni  with 21.14 off peg 10.

 In second place was Tom Watt with 14.07 (peg 6) and third was Billy Hill with 9.04 (peg 8)

There will be a delegate meeting on 21st January at the usual place, there are no issues that I know of but that's the idea of the meeting to get some feedback from the member clubs. Match bookings are as follows

Christmas Has Been and Gone, it's Time to Catch Some Fish

I hope everyone's had a good Christmas and not too much festive cheer lol, I managed a trip to Fishpool, as I got to the lake the sun was shining over the lake and even though I may be biased the lake looked a picture, the bare tree's and the starkness of the different tree types was quite a sight.

 It was a very blowy day after two days of wild and wet weather so I wasn't too surprised to see the lake was well coloured, and with the mild temperature (12`C) for the last three days I did fancy a fish or two, I had the good sense the previous wet evening to go out on the lawn and collect some lobworms, the thought process went along the lines of, if the carp don't oblige, I can have a go for the big perch that are in the lake, my PB perch came from Fishpool almost 12months ago at a weight of 2lb 12 and quite lean with it I think a 3lb er is defineately on the cards. So I set up a bomb rod and fished 10mm punched bread or sweetcorn, pinging some 6mm pellets over to the spot I'd put my bait, I didn't have to wait too long for the tip to smash round and the 1st carp of about 3lb graced the net, followed by four more, they all looked in tip top condition, fit and obviously in fighting condition judging by the way each one tried to pull the rod into the lake. One fish in particular was a cracking mirror carp, maybe a pound, but gorgeous scales and colouring, this fish is one of our "ownbreds", they are the smallest in the lake but they are worthy of a photo or two.

So I thought ok the carp are having a go, lets see if the perch want to play too, fishing a small waggler in the middle I hooked one of the lobbies, pinched off his tail and cast in, 20mins before it moved, and it was soon apparent it wasn't small, suffice to say in the next hour I had some fantastic sport, I caught 6perch the best went 2lb 8, I was gutted and felt sure it was 3lb as it was so chunky

the best four perch went 7lb 8, I was chuffed and frozen by then, so I packed up one happy little camper.

AMAL Business
The AMAL are constantly in need of financial support, we are an umbrella organisation who's affiliate clubs pay a subscription to belong to the AMAL and their members can reap the benefits, those being the fishing rights to almost the entire length of the River Soar from Abbey Park, Leicester to Pillings Lock at Barrow on Soar, the ability to fish at Fishpool once a day ticket or season ticket is purchased. Back in the 70's the AMAL boasted 40 odd clubs and river matches were 100peg affairs and the revenue received easily paid for the water rents, nowadays the subscriptions we receive fall some way short of our outgoings so we actively lease out Fishpool  to our member clubs for matches and also the AMAL are running a monthly Saturday match, I make no apologies for the fact that the lake is occasionally unavailable for day tickets or our season ticket holders, without the extra revenue generated by these matches, the AMAL would have folded long since and no one would be fishing our waters. So below is the new match booking list and its a bit busy for a couple of months

As Winter bites, so do the roach on the AMAL waters

As far as my fishing goes, I have to confess I haven't wet a line since the Fishpool grueller of the 24th November, work is still coming in as fast as I can complete it, which for a gardener in December. really is something and with the season of goodwill just around the corner and the unknown fickleness of the  weather in January and February, I'm taking all the work I can get thank you.

AMAL Business

I'd like to thank Dan for letting me know about a fishing trip to  a section of AMAL water on the Soar in Thurmaston, down Mill Lane to be precise,  there is a turning basin and locks here with a small weir pool too. Dan fished a sloping grass bank he affectionately calls " The Grassy Knoll" which seeing as he fished on the anniversary of JFK's assassination, makes him a braver man than me :-) his peg offered depths between 6 and 12ft and he caught roach on punch on a short pole line but after seeing another angler snare a 3lb bream, Dan tried his longer pole line into the deep water, to no avail, and on return to his roach line it too was devoid of fish, so a bit of chopped worm fishing produced some nice perch to finish off his net for the day. Dan kindly e mailed me a photo of his catch too, thanks Dan

 

One of our members clubs had a match on our canal length at Barrow on Soar, Bingham Angling Club fished on the 8th December, it was typical of the Barrow canal of late, a really close match where angling skills are rewarded with some cracking nets of fish, in 1st place M Fielding caught some nice roach on punch for a total of 5lb4oz, 2nd place G Adams had 4lb9oz and with 3lb10 , 2lb11 and 2lb8 filling the rest of the frame it was a match in the truest sense of the word. Richard Landon is the chairman of Bingham, and he rang me to say he would like to run a series of matches that switch between Barrow canal and Fishpool, we decided it would be best to limit the matches to 14 anglers as this number can fish both venues comfortably without being sat on each others knee. I'll be in touch with Richard to confirm the matches will go ahead, and I know the places will be snapped up quickly, with ME being on the list please Rich ;-).

The Soar Valley Winter League has now finished, and with some of the weeks coinciding with a rising river the SVWL have used quite a few pegs on our Deeps section and so when the match organiser sent me the cheque in respect of pegging fees I was pleasantly surprised with the total, I'd like to thank Brian Hull for his promptness in letting me have the cheque and his honesty in respect of letting me have an in depth breakdown of pegs on the AMAL waters, cheers Brian.

So my last bit of news is that I will be running a match at Fishpool on the 29th December, anyone wanting to fish please let me know via this page, cheers for now guys , Ian

The Highs and Oh so Lows of Winter Fishing

We've reached that time of year when if high pressure weather systems are over the country for any length of time the temperatures plummet quickly, leading to cold water and also clear water through the lack of rain during these high pressure periods, and as we all know cold clear water doesn't make for great fishing generally. This was particularly the case at the AMAL's Fishpool stillwater fishery near Walton on the Wolds, on the 16th of November, one of our member clubs , Ratby AC had a match, it was just at the start of the colder weather and they did have a great winter match, won with nearly 34lb followed by 15lb then 11lb and two 9lb weights, really good weights for the time of year. Fast forward a week and I was running a match on Fishpool on the AMAL's behalf, with 4 guys cancelling within 48 hrs of the match , I wasn't the only one who anticipated a grueller. I made the match a "rover" so all those fishing at least had the opportunity to pick a peg they fancied fishing. I had seen the weather forecast that promised sun throughout most of the day , and so picked peg 12 with an island to fish to , and the sun would hopefully warm the island margins and Mr Carp would oblige me with some action, well the weather forecast missed all the cloud we had and so the island wasn't a sun drenched haven and I had 1 mirror on popped up bread and two liners for a total of 1llb 14, bad bad bad, but I then found out two anglers had remained fishless, and the eventual winner on peg six had TWO carp for 4lb 2. 2nd place on Fishpool with less than two pound is I believe unrivelled low weight. Not 2 miles away another of our member clubs (Jones and Shipman) were on the AMAL's only canal length, the  Barrow Canal, in its entirety, probably 400metres long its the navigable link for the Soar when the river goes over a weir near The Navigation pub in Barrow on Soar , it then winds its way through a section known as the Brinks (Quorn AS control this water) from here its meanders round the fields at the back of Quorn and then under the new A6 and onto a length of river approaching Barrow Bridge again a Quorn AS length known as The Greens, just as the Greens length goes under Barrow Bridge the Barrow Canal rejoins via the Deep Lock at Procters Park, so the river does about 2miles, the Barrow Canal 400metres, but on its day its a seriously fishy piece of water and so it proved on the day in question,  Jones and Shipman enjoyed some quality sport on what was a low clear cold canal, but ideally suited to bread punch, and so the match was won with 8lb and this was followed by a 5lb and out of 10 guys I believe only one weight was below 2lb, mainly roach was the target of the day, but rudd perch and tench are all possible on this deeper than average canal, which fishes even when the river is flooding.
So the two extremes of our pastime were exposed not two miles from each other, in hindsight I should have asked if I could guest on the canal match :-)

AMAL Business
We had our bi monthly this week, no real dramas, our bailiff team reported a downturn in anglers at Fishpool, but as we know the weather has now turned and a lot of guys just don't do "the Cold" I will be running a match at Fishpool between Christmas and New Year, on Sunday the 29th December, if you want to fish, please message me on the blog page. Guys please note Fishpool is closed to fishing on the 30th of November, its extremely important that no one is on the water on this date, many thanks
