Visit by Members of the Cambridge Branch Crabtree Society 17 05 2024


A very warm welcome to Russ and members of the Cambridge Branch of the Society. Very pleasing to see the old methods still being used today. Use of cane rods and centre pin reels. From early on fish were being caught from all parts of the lake including Tench & Crucians. Various baits being tried all proving to be successful. A break for lunch and catch up amongst the members to find out what bait and methods being used were working.

Almost all of the anglers managed to catch six different species. All members were very happy with the catches on the day and look forward to returning very soon.
