Member John Vincent with a 4lb 12.4oz rainbow caught from the dam on Tuesday 7 July 2020
Welcome to our new committee member Mark Brookbanks, here displaying a fine Rutland brown trout
The late Dave Barker, holding his record 13lb 13oz record Grafham rainbow, which is now on display in the cafeteria at the fishing lodge. A replica is displayed in the shop below the cafe.
Club member Dayood Sheik with a fine brace, both taken on the same drift.
A 5:06 Rainbow trout caught on the 13th March 2020, about 50 yards from G buoy on a white snake with some floro orange maribu tied into the head, fished on a DI5 line retrieved in short slow pulls. I was fishing with a non-member on the day, Dave Aylett. I showed Tom the ranger the fish when we got in that evening, but weighed it on the boat after capture.
A reminder to all paid up members that the Annual General Meeting will take place on Tuesday 3rd March, commencing sharp at 19.30, followed by the screening of the film “CHALK” which explores fishing for wild brown trout in chalk streams unique to the UK.
All members will have received by now notice of the AGM, an agenda, plus a copy of last year’s AGM, by e mail. The chairman’s, treasurer’s and club captains’s reports will be presented on the night.
The committee look forward to welcoming you all on the night.
Welcome return of our ever popular culinary evening, with our chairman Mark showing us yet more ways to prepare and cook our prized captures.
Club member John Vincent will also be demonstrating his own preferred way of preparing trout.
Sampling of all these dishes is the highlight of the evening!
