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.
Simon Trinder into a Crucian Well pleased with this specimen
Beautiful Lily pad just a few on the lake Just one of the wildlife seen on the day

Greg Bell unimpressed with a snotty Tony Chillingworth with a fine Tench
Steve Chambers catching a decent Rudd Phil Buckingham with a good sized Bream
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.
Thank you very much for a lovely day fishing on your Dodds Water and thank you very much Mr. Dodd whom we meet early in the day who was doing a working party.
