PAAS Junior Day at Cound Fishery

Prince Albert will be holding a Junior day at Cound fishery on Saturday 13th March 2010, fishing starts at 10am. Fishing will be for Rainbow trout by any method. You will be able to take a rainbow trout but all brown trout are to be returned as they will be out of season.

Karl the even organiser can provide a dozen fly outfits with safety glasses, nets, flies etc but if the students elect to use other methods they will need to bring their own kit. Mums and Dads are welcome but it is only the Juniors who will be allowed to fish. Remember it is always a good idea to bring warm waterproof clothing and wellies as well as a packed lunch.

The day will conclude at 3.30pm.

If you would like to book a place, please email me and i will forward your details over to Karl. Click here to email me

Just to announce that PAAS have taken on the water known as Cound Trout Fishery. We will however operate it largely as a coarse water with any method trout fishing allowed (brown trout to be returned). Its been a trout fishery for 15-20 years but around that time the EA put the coarse fish from a local lake in there as part of a fish rescue. These havent been fished for for 20 years. Known to hold carp tench roach rudd and perch and maybe other species.

Its a former quarry 26 acres spring fed crystal clear and 50ft deep.

27th/28th February Grayling Competition River Dee

We’ll be organising a fly only Grayling competition to be held on the PA beat of the River Dee

As with the same event in 2009, the format of the day will be informal – by no means a deadly serious competition and a great way to exchange methods, flies and maybe gain a little knowledge from other members.

Date to be confirmed but aiming for end Feb. Keep an eye on the PAAS forum for updates.

Number of entrants will be capped to avoid overcrowding, so if you fancy a go or you require more information please contact us through the contact page.

Cancelled due to water conditions.

Cancelled 7th Feb 10 - River Dee Grayling Competition

This morning the river was high [over 1m] and coloured, fishing would have been tricky. I want to run the comp on a day where everyone can wade and fish the width of the river and hopefully catch a few fish. We’d have struggled to get into the water and anglers would have been jostling for positions along the bank.

Now looking at the weekend of 27th/28th Feb and will contact everyone this week to confirm new date.

PAAS Junior Section

Suggested plans for the future

Over the course of the next five years, the junior section will be establishing links with schools, coaches, and the local authorities, with a view to facilitating the planning of coaching sessions for junior members on all aspects of the sport supplied by the club. There should be the opportunity to learn, from the very basics of the sport, to the specialising into match, carp and game fishing.

We are looking to locate a local building for the initial training purposes and to use club waters to put into practice all the good habits and skills learn’t in those sessions.

Several members of the committee have already offered to help develop a junior match team. Regular matches with local clubs will be planned as soon as the response to the sessions confirms that this should be a development target.

As well as continuing with the already well established open match for juniors, there should be matches for our junior members on various club waters and also, perhaphs, a parents/child pairs match, plus organised trips to some of our distant club waters and also some day ticket waters.

What I really need, is for all the junior members to write to me, commenting on the above plans and suggesting what else they would like to see happen in the clubs junior section.
